Which itres will be better for a Raptor660R????
I ride in loose trails, hard packed trails, some mud, and I want some really good powerslides!!!!!!!!!!
I like the XCT but I want to do good Powerslides and the site says it has better crnering ability!!!!!!! You may think this is stupid but I dont know if I should get the XCTItp web site
My other choice would be the Spider tracks!!!!!!!!!
What would better suit my riding conditions?????????????

Keep in mind that if you go with the 22" tires (XCT) you will want to change both your front and rear sprockets. The Raptor is geared too high to begin with and when you add taller tires in the rear you are going to make the problem MUCH worse. Dropping to a 12 front sprocket works if you stay with 20" tires but it is not low enough for 22" tires. Also, when you change the front and rear sprockets you will have to buy a new chain.

The dollars start adding up quickly, as I found out when I switched to 22" tires. I needed the gound clearance and I have been happy with the change.


Good luck,
