Well....here's my luck. It was the day I just bought it (I had to wait like a week before I could get it due to money problems) anyway, I brought it home and rode it like about 4 hours and the back right tire was slit right on the edge. So it couldn't be pluged so I just put a tube in it. Well here about a week ago I had another flat, just riding around my yard. So my dad went and had another tube put in it. Its fine now. And I strongly agree with that dude that said that the factory tires wear down fast b/c I have had mine for about 5 months now and the tread is about 3/4 of the way worn. When I get more tires, im going to get 4 ply ITP Holeshots on mine. My uncle had a Blaster and he got some for his and he has had them for a year now and he rides up and down the road, yes, ON the road all the time and he is always holding his front brakes on and poping the clutch and spinning like crazy and guess what, the tires still look new, hardly ANY tread is gone off of it. Now thats what I call some good tires. The Razr's are kinda similar to it but I don't know anybody that has them so I don't know how they are. I would recommend Holeshots to anyone!

Sorry about your bad luck yel400exman.
Juggalo,
I would recommend the fast trekkers, i have them, but there's two downsides. They clog up way too easy in mud and the tread are spread too far and are prone to flats. I only have one plug so I'm lucky. I soon plan on getting Maxxis All Traks.
Good luck to the both of you.
