Which type of tire would be good for a blaster for pretty much all around riding at Croom and Ocala. I also ride on asphault to take my friends places. I also want some thing that will do good at traction and will slide when I want it to slide.

hey buddy whats up? I just put new rear tires on my blaster. You gotta get rid of those blimpy stock tires, they are mad tipsy and they just suck...now i do a lot of sand riding and some mud, so i bought a tire called the realtor. Its made by puresports, they are awesome!!! You can flip the tires around and switch depending on the terrain you are riding on...the only catch is that you gotta buy the Douglas rims cause they have a 1" offset, which is good so u can turn better without tipping, you wana get the 22-12-8. For the front i would go with bandits...they are good as well...The realtor is awesome tho..it makes the blaster look mean...thats what all my buddys say..Pure Sports

If money is an obstacle,Kenda Scorpions are a great tire,cheap,light and very well made. They have a lot of oval knobbies that grip hardpack real well,slide corners with ease,seem fine in moderate sand,and since the tread is non-directional,when the front edges get worn down a little,you can just swap the rims from side to side and get double the tread life. They also sit a little flatter profile,not ballooney like the stockers.

I would go with the realtors...but the only thing is they rub on the plastics when you turn because of the size.

Namco, holeshot knock off, 20/10/8, sits on the stock rims really nicely, nice stiff side wall and 2/3 price of Holeshots, well at least down here in NZ.............
