I was wondering what you all think of the holeshot xct tires. I am thinking of buying a set of 22x11x9 rears and 23x7x10 fronts. Do they hold up well? I do most of my riding on gravel roads and highways and the occasional gravel pit and trails. I want somthing that hooks up well and will also last me a long long time. Right now I still have the original kendas on it but after 5000+ miles they are getting bald. Oh ya they will be going on a 2001 ds 650. Please let me know what you all think. Thanks

 

Thats what I have. I am running 20's in the rear though. I like them. They wear well, have good traction and don't puncture easy. they 23's up front are bitchin'

 

the 22 xct are great. For fronts look at the 23" HD's. Based off the MX tire and turn really nice.

 

I am running holeshots on the front wheels of my raptor. I like them alot, although I do have two plugs in one of them.....but hey I could pop any tire! LOL I bought the XCR 6ply. Good tire.

 

I've used Holeshot's on every quad I've owned, alway's will too.

Personally I think they suck. Three people i ride with can't keep air in them. All i ever run are Razar II's. They have really good traction, and still able to slide the back end around a wide sweeping turn, or grip and get the start.

 

They won't work on a Honda thats why they can't keep air in them.



Just kidding bout that. I run them on mine because I found a set really cheap ($25 for both back tires!) I don't ride it hard enough to tell if they are better than others but we do ride around a lot of brush and rocks and I haven't had a flat yet. Now watch today I'll go home and have four flats just for saying that!

 

I'll be honest, some of the Holeshot's I've had did leak, albeit slowly. I could air them up, and they'd hold air for a few day's, then slowly go down. As far as performance is concerned, they are the best I've used. Actually, my favorite rear tire, performance wise, is the stock Ohtsu that came on the 250R, 400EX, and now the Baja. My only complaint with them is, I could ride over a wet tea bag, and get a flat.

in my section of ny we see alot of muddy trails and id have to say thet when it comes to the mid (even light mud) there far from the best choice. they pack up real easy.

 

The next set of tires that i'm gonna get for the rear for my DS are gonna be Holeshot HD's. I've heard great reviews about them. Hopefully a lot better than my factory Dominators!
