ITP Holeshot XC Front
OK guys I just puntured my 3rd front tire on my quad and I am pissed off at paying $60 each time to get a new tire. As you all know it doesn't work very well when you try to patch a sidewall punture. So I was thinking about the Holeshot-Front 22x7x10 XC on ITP Steel for my raptor. They have 6ply rating and I heard that the steel is stronger.
Would this be a good tire?

Do you ride a lot of rocky, technical terrain???
I have run XC's on all my machines for years. Hundreds of miles of hard a$$ desert riding (on each machine!) every year, WITHOUT A SINGLE PROBLEM of any kind. I do run fix-a-flat in the tires all the time (that takes care of the little things like cactus thorns), but I have never had a flat or a sidewall cut or anything, ever! There isn't any other tire that I would run!
One thing you DO NOT want on your wheels is WEIGHT. It is the biggest handicap you can give yourself. So, I would never consider steel wheels on a sport bike. Go with ITP Baja rims with reinforcement rings if you need more rim strength. I don't even run steel wheels on my utilities, which see a lot of technical terrain/rock crawling.

I have the Holeshot XC's on my Raptor and I have had zero problems. I run them on my factory wheels and they work awesome. They have some neat features that make them work really well. Aluminum is the way to go. I would go with at least some rims that have rolled beads if not the ones with reinforcing rings if you need that much strength.
