hi guys, i live in New Mexico and I was wondering if there is anyone out there that has bought new rear tires for their DS? I am looking for some tires that would work great in all conditions. I have a set of Realtors on my other quad but I was wondering if anyone has put them on their DS or if they tried the Bandit rears. I do like to ride in the sand at different locations, but I live on a big ranch so their is Snow, Mud and hard pack. Any ideas would help me. Thanks....newdsowner

Hey chop, thanks for the reply. Have another question for you. How do you like your 15 tooth sprocket? How much did your rev box cost you? Was the rev box worth the money?

hey newdsowner, I put some holeshot xct (6ply) 22" on the rear and 23" on the front to even everything out.They hook up great.Takes away most of the wheel spin you get in the first couple of gears.keeps me coming off the line with my buddies raptor.then after that its all me.the 6ply tire also helps out the rims from bending so easy.....+ a touch more top end.

Here's my two cents, The number 1 tire on the market is HoleShots. I think these are highly over rated. There great in only one dirt type, loose. And if you own a 2stoke and play in mud or snow, forget about it. I have a rear set of mud sharks 21x12x10's(Fall, Winter & Spring) & stockers for non-wet days in the summer.
