i need some new tires for my quad and i was wonderin what everyone else uses for xc or gncc racing

 

Hey there again BeastyTrailblazer

The majority run HoleshotXC or Maxxis Razr [or other similar knock off]

I run the regular Holeshots for now because I still have to run motocross too and I have 3 sets of rears hanging in the shop. When they are gone, it's Holeshot XC and no more motocross races.

If you are new to the woods racing scene, count on replacing them at least every two races if you are running on a track that is root infested. They tend to eat up very fast.

 

i do run XC and am and have been hoplessly addicted, im always sure to run with my tires overinflated a bit to protect my rims. as far as tires go i was looking mostly at razr's holeshot xcr's or xct's and was also looking at dirtdevils, i know what youre thinking thats too much of a mud tire which is what most people have said, i rode a buddy's scrambler 500 which had dirtdevils on it and thought they performed extremely well, any comments on the devils?

 

I am a Kenda dealer but only sell the Scorpions. A good econo. tire for the three wheeler guys left. I have sold a few sets of the DirtDevils in the larger sizes for the 4WD's but they have a different tread depth and slightly different shape than the sport quad sizes. Haven't seen those in person yet.

 

since you have a trail blazer i would suggest the xct's. best tires i ever owned. never got a flat or got stuck in the mud through a whole season and a half of racing.

 

i would go w/ maxxis all trak, great tire for mud, streams, rocks, hard surface, and it wont wear down that easily. just my $.02

 

I like the tread design of the All-Trak also. However they are only 2-ply and I think with racing you would want the reliability of more plys.

 

Actually the number on the tire doesn't mean neccissarily that is a 4 or 6 ply tire. Only about a half dozen tires actually have a 4 ply tire, and NONE but the mudder from Hi-Lifter have a 6 ply. They are 4 or 6 ply RATED. They just don't bother expressing that in their ads or marked on the tire itself. A loop hole for sure. How does one know what type of tests were done to give it a 4 ply rating?? A good question for the manufacturers indeed.

 

what does "ply" mean? is it goods to have more or less ply?

 

when i was saying i was looking at dirt devils i meant just dirt devils and not the dirt devilat or xt or whatever they are. the standard dirt devil has no more tread depth than the razr's
