Default Holeshot MX's

It's time for some new front tires on my 400ex and I would like to run a set of 20" Holeshot MX's. The reason I want to switch to these is because the 22" XC's I have had too much sidewall flex for when I'm at the track. Problem is I do a fair bit of trail riding as well. What worries me is that I'll end up pokin a hole in one of the MX's due to it being only a 2 ply tire. Have any of you had any experience with the MX in off track situations if so how'd they hold up??

you would have to go with a 20in normal holeshot because the MX's only come in 18in..unless you're talking about the fronts?

Once again size wasn't really the main concern, I was thinking more as to whether or not the MX tires would stand to the odd trail ride being that they are only 2 ply. Any input????

i have the Razr MX's on my mojave and trail ride without any problems...i was surprised for a 2 ply to hold up that well...i have had them since last April and they have no plugs or leaks at all...the Holeshot MX is made of a softer compound though
