The proper dirt-drag tire is a secret that nobody seems willing to give up. I've noticed this question asked here before to no avail. In the pictures I have seen, most of the well set-up quad riders seem to have made the same tire selection (similar tread pattern and tire size). So why not share it with us?

4-Snow, and Pro Wedges seem to be a popular set up from what I've seen, at least for dirt.

I really like using the same Ohtsu tires that are used on Honda's 400ex. They do very well on my Banshee, but expect them to wear out faster than many other tires. Lowering your bike can really help too.

Best tires are the honda radials and the yamaha (dunlop) radials. Work with the air pressure to get it dialed in. Use 125 or 160 rims to cut down on weight. Do not use a 6 ply tire. You want to reduce spinning weight at the rear. Good luck

custom grooved turf tamers are popular also.
