I have a warrior and I put holeshots on the front and then spider tracks on the back and I can get through anything, the spiders just climb and rip through anything but are really hard on the pavement, grip awsome in the sand, rocks and mud, and climb hills without a spin. i guess it all depends on your terrain, I am hopeing that they do well in the snow also.

For trails, I use the 6-ply 22" Holeshot XCTs on the back. They are very tough, add some ground clearance, have good traction - but they are heavy. For MX, I use 18" Holeshot MX. Lots of traction on packed dirt and no sidewall flex but they wear fast. If you want one rear tire for mixed riding, I'd get the Holeshot XCTs but stay at 20" to keep the weight down.

For the front, I've heard very good things about the Kenda Claws but don't have personal experience. I run the stockers up front on the trails and 19" Holeshot MX on the track. No complaints about the Holeshot MX fronts and the stockers are holding up fine.
