Did anyone read the new DirtWheels article about the Baja DS650? They had high praise for the Ohtsu radial tires- they claimed the tires made a dramatic improvement in traction over the Kendas. These tires are standard equipment on Honda TRX250Rs and 400EXs. I have often thought that they are some of the best tires out there. If you're in need of new tires for your older DS650, you owe it to yourself to consider these tires.

The Kendas royally suck anyway. How do they compare to Holeshot XCT's?
We're thinking about trying some 22" Maxxi Razzrs on the Raptor. I think Santa already has a request in on those.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

What size do you think I should get if I choose to get those? Are rear 22 the way to go? How about the fronts?

I don't think anyone with a DS can go wrong with 22" rears and 23" fronts. Though, I'm sure someone out there has a situation where smaller tires are better, it certainly isn't me.

Try to find a Raptor owner that has changed his tires, the Dunlops are radials too and I have not heard of punture problems with them yet
