There one of the tires I am considering, do you have any experience with them.

scrambler123,

Oh yes, I have experience with them. They work great! The tire is as tough as nails and provides excellent traction in just about all conditions (extreme mud isn't what they're designed for). With about 85-90% of the GNCC riders using them, they don't need a testamonial from me. Still, they are a great tire. The rears handle the abuse my 65+ horsepower motor makes and the fronts cut into the turns like a knife. They are self cleaning, in fact one ride in the mud and you will have mud on everything but the tires. In short, you get what you pay for. The best cross country tire out there.

I am only going to get the backs on wheels for now.

I agree with Mike. I had them on my Scrambler. They are tough & have great straight line traction, much better going up wet creek banks than my friends Realtors.

Dirt Devils,6ply aggressive bite and very tough, and a good deal at $175 for 4 tires.

scrambler123,

I believe I got them from Ronnie's in Mass. I can't remember, but I think they went for around $60-70 per tire. Pricy, but well worth it. The only problem I had was getting too much traction with them, every time I nailed the throttle under 30 mph the front end went skyward. I've since gone to a 3"+ swingarm on my Sport and this has kind of solved the problem of TOO much traction. It'll still wheelie, but no where near as much as before.

Thanks.

Jeffoxsr,
I can't explain it, they just do. I bought Holeshots, shortly after my friend got Realtors. I'm glad I bought the Holeshots. The Realtors spun too easy once wet. Like after crossing a creek & trying to get out. I think the Holeshots were even better in straightline when dry too.
