I have bandit xc's on my 400 ex and raptor and love them. They hook up good in a straight line and slide even better. They are kevlar belted and I have never had a flat in over a year of riding on my ex.

 

I've only had holeshots except for the trailclaws I have on now. Only because I got a smoking deal on them. However, every tire has been reported as wearing out quickly in this forum by one person or another. Holeshots, Razrs, Schredders, I REALLY like the looks of the Pure Sports Bandit XC though, if they work half as well as they look, they'll be an awesome tire. If I was getting a new set, that's what I'd buy. 22" is the way to go too, unless you are going to be motocrossing, the extra ground clearance is excellent. check out rocky mountain ATV

I run Holeshot XCT's all the way around and have at least 1000 miles on them and still have 50% of the tread left they are bullet proof no flats yet. I didnt like the way my front bandits handled very twitchy in the ruts it almost rode like a Warrior.
