Default New tires on Predator

I think I need some different tires on the back and front of the predator. I feel like the back tires spin too easily, and the fronts want to push if running hard into corners. Also, is anyone making 8" or 9" wheels for it yet, or do I have to get different hubs and then smaller rims. I thought that if the rim was smaller and the tire the same diameter, it will allow the side wall to be more flexible and grip better under accelleration out of a corner? I am leaning towards getting the holeshot tires, but may also be interested in the razor 2s.

Just looking for some advice.

Thanks,
Ryan

I think its the rear end suspension that causes it to spin a lot. I think it has something to do with the anti squat suspension or whatever it is.

I have revalved the rear shock, and it has plenty of squat. Almost half of the travel is in use just sitting there, but when pushed, it really takes the big hits great.

Thanks,
Ryan

I think the backs hook up well, but can overslide at times. Just a little throttle control helps the sliding. But I definately agree that the fronts push. I'm going to slap on some razr fronts and try them out. The Pro fronts work well, but when it gets in loose loamy ground I can't hold my corners in the woods...and that cost's me positions and $$$ if I smack a tree!
