I'm pretty happy with my tire size but I'm not real happy with the stock tires. Here are my questions.

Can I just put on some Holeshots on my current rims and still keep my stock fronts. My problem is with rear traction and my fronts have plenty of tread life. Will it handle funny?

The only thing that Kenda Dominators are good for is rolling the quad on and off the trailer, sorry just had to throw that out, get the rears and try it out, I'm not impressed with the fronts my self but thats me

Try the stock Honda 400ex, Yamaha Raptor or Baja DS tires. They are radials and they hook GREAT. They are Otshu or Dunlaps. I agree with DSJockey, they make great power sliders around a corner but they don't hook up worth a darn.

HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU? Bandits are the best tire!!! They hook up in all sorts of conditions! They are at home in the desert/sand enviroment, but work weel in snow, and mud. The XC model is kevlar belted and will not pop!! The front xcr model is a supierieor at handling tight track corners, and wide open drag races!! They are not as expensive as other holesh*i*t tires.

How do the bandits hook up on grass & hard pack? Do you have any trouble with them while trying to slide around a corner (do they have a tendency to grab)?

If u want some bad *** all around tires, i suggest Realtors. i had them on my banshee and now DS and they are the greatest tires. they wear down great, work great in all terrain. i have them reversed all the time and they roost like there is no tomorrow. i recommend them highly

They work very good on hard pack and grass. I can pop wheelies on grass with my stock 500x with theses tires on it.(the 500s engine is stock) Thats preety good for a 500lbs. tank.
