does anyone use these tires and if so how would you rate them compared to the razrs or holeshots

 

i cant tell you how they compare but my razr 2s have hooked up in every type terrain that ive ridden in including some deep mud.

 

bandits are ok but my razrs are alot better

 

pure sport bandits sounds like a groupie[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

my nieghbor had them on her banshee before she rebuilt it, and well, they make good spares...thats about it. She now runs holeshots, and is gonna be running razr2's

 

I had a set once on a timberwolf and they seemed to hook up great and lasted forever.

 

If you can wear a set of bandits out you are truly a atv rider. Traction is OK but these tires are way heavier than the mx tires like holeshots. If you xc race and dont ever want to worry about flats or punctures then you cant go wrong with bandits. Even if they loose all thier air you can still drive on them and make it back home. Im talking the bandit rear xc.

 

They're heavy, so make sure your ATV has enough power to turn them; an open class ATV would be best. Forward traction is equal to, or better, than Holeshots or Razr's. Sliding traction is not as good, and the rear end can tend to step out on you more than you want it to. Braking traction is not as good either, and they can tend to fishtail a bit under long hard braking, such as a panic stop from 70+ mph. They are bulletproof though, and I have been running them all year long desert racing. So far they have done six desert races with no flats, and other than the initial rounding off of the knobbie edges I cannot tell that they have worn at all.

i believe my yfz has enough power but i think ill go with the razrs. theyre pretty cheap on rockymountainatv.com and they seem to work well on my buddies 450r.

 

Razr's would be a better choice for a 450cc ATV. The 650s do ok with Bandits, but even with our YFZ we went with lighter tires. We went with Holeshot XCR-03 tires, which work great on the 450.
