I have the 18x11x9 hole shots on my 370 and they handle well.. Good traction in the straights and easy to pitch sideways in the corners without spinning out!! My lil bro currently runs 18x10x8 holeshots MXR on his his 250R LOL, I had given him a set of turf tamers before he had a chance to get his holeshots---LOL--he said maybe in the practice rounds when the track is muddy and still slick would he run the turf tamers, but as the track dries out and becomes sticky the HOLESHOTS are the way to go.... he will probably let the turf tamers sit up and dry rot before he runs them again... LOL... So in otherwords holeshots are the way to go in our eyes.... HOWever, they will wear out a lot faster!! So it all depends on hjow serious you about the track, and how much money you desire to spend on tires... Personally I will spend more for the added sweetness of the handling that the holeshot tires offer! We both ride snappy modified 2-strokes so other peoples opinion may differ a tad. And your use/needs may be a little different, but this is my .02/worth.............

I've had Holeshot XCs before and Turf Tamers as well and the Holeshots blow them Tamers away in all but the muddiest conditions.

I second the klaws. They hook very well from clay to sandy conditions.
