Defective Holeshot XCT tires? What the #$%@ ?
#1
I just put on a new pair of Holeshot XCT's 22"s on the back of my 400ex- and after 10 minutes riding in sand- my back left went flat. Something cut the center of the tire. It still has the one thousand nipples all over the tire! So I took it back to Rocky Mountain ATV personally and asked them for a new tire.
They said that ITP probibly wouldn't give me a new one because it looks like damage from road hazard (even though I wasn't in the road). So they plugged it and said that's the best they could do. As you can imagine- I'm a little pissed. How can I pop a tire in soft sand?
So the following week- I'm riding in the mountains and return home with TWO more holes in the face of the same (already plugged) tire.
...what is the deal with these holeshot tires? Is there a slim possibility that I have a defected tire? Nothing happens to the other tires... or to any of my buddy's tires-...
So far- I'm not real happy with the durability of holeshot. I'm thinking they should rename their tire to holeSHIT.

I don't know about yours, but I had a bad XCT tire. It was a 23" on the front of my Scrambler. It had about 10 holes in a perfect straight line on the outer most lugs on the tire. I complained & they said "something in the process was bad on a certain bunch" of them. They sent a new one free of charge. All 4 were fine after that.

Call ITP direct, and ask to speak to the head of customer relations. It's a young guy, I forget his name offhand. I had a set of standard .190 rims, and complained to him of their durability. He sent me a set of T-9 rims before they were available to the public. He has every intention of keeping his cusomers happy.
