They are alot better then stock. They do tend to wear rather fast though. But when they are new, they hook up awesome. And best of all, the tippy feeling is gone.

If "tippy" means bicycling in the corners, than holeshots or any other good XC tire is still going to be tippy, probably even tippier, because side bite and forward bite is better with these tires. Tippyness is caused by traction versus center of gravity. Since you will have more traction, you must lower your center of gravity or widen you quad (reducing sidebite).
- Lean over much further
- Lower the quad
- soften rear shock spring
- widen wheel width (front and rear)

The tires you mention are great as well as razors and you will be happy, but you will still bicycle in the corners.

they will be all nice till about 15-20 hours of hard riding and they are bald as cue *****.

They do hook up awesome for the first 3 hours..then it just all goes down hill. Don't expect to get through a lot of mud either. they just turn into mud *****

I've run Holeshots on a bunch of different bikes. If tippyness is your problem, then they are a very good solution. You might also look for some aftermarket rims that are wider or have a greater offset. Sidebite has never been a problem in the stuff I ride (desert XC). In a corner, I just blip the throtle and they break free and slide me around.

Keep in mind that the XCT's are a bit heavy, and your bike will have to work a little harder to turn them. They do wear out kind of fast. There isn't any other tire I would run.
