Rode with a guy from KC ks that had RA's made by GBC I think he called them ground busters.. they dug through the mud like nothing I have seen before, i was impressed seeing that 350 blaster pullling through the mud like it was a 4x4... I run dominators on my scrammy and they just require a little throttle to clean out and ride real nice, the only place they have given me any problems is wet rocks or Ice, they have absolutely no bite there..

i run two sport machines....the r has razr2's,the mojave has carlyle strykers. the razr2's work great on the r. but i think they clean well because of it being a 2 smoker. the lowly strykers work quite well in the mud on the mojave...and last great. i had these tires on my lt230 years ago and i liked them on it also. i also ran bandit x/c on the r ....last like iron,but spin like mad on wet grass !!! the radial tire on the raptor looks like it could be a decent design also , but i have no experience with them. they resemble the ohtsu found on stock 250r's and 400 ex's. i would lean towards a razr2 or holeshot hd for most woods machines. 6 ply is a huge plus for me,i have the power ..i need the durability!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I am running 20x12.5-8 blackwaters and I love them. They give a smooth ride on hardpack, and hook up extremely well in soft, and muddy terrain. I have a freind with mudlites on his 300ex and loves them as well.

That is What HE called them they had a Big RA on the sides and the tread looked like the ITP's or Razor tread... the speed he was spinning them may have been why they worked so well, but he went every where he wanted to and the only time he got stuck was when he high centered. Of course I still believe sport quads are for riding not mud bogging. I have a 4x4 for the mud normally. took the sport bike because I thought it would be dryer than it was..

They may have been Shredders, he said he got them from rocky mountain ATV....
