I think only Holeshots come in the stock size... Also someone once told me that the Bandits are a harder compound. They might last longer, but at the expense of some traction.

Actually a good combo would be the Bandit XC fronts (22X7X10), and Holeshot XC (20X11X9) or XCT (22X11X10). I'm not aware of any people using the 22" Fast Treker rear, but if you want a bigger rear look into those as well.

A400L,
Excellent advice, considering thats the same tire setup I have on mine. The Bandit looks a bit different, I cant count the remarks I've had, but they sure do corner well! I would go with this combo.

I'd definately go with the Bandit 22" front's. They are great. as for the rear u have many choices. With your kind of riding I'd probaby go with the 22" Fast Trekker rears. If u want a 20" tire I'd go with either holeshots or shredders.

 

what about bandits all around or holeshots all around

IF you were going to do that, ID go with the Bandits. Hers what the ATV Sport magazine said about the bandits in their tire shootout in August 1999.


Well on second thought after reading about the Bandits, it seems as if, I tend to agree, that the fronts can wander around the trail due to the large contact patch. Although they are excellent in the corners.

The Holeshots outshown the Bandits. They gave the Bandits 3 tires(stars) for recreational riding, 3 1/2 tires for agressive riding and 4 for high performance riding. They gave the Holeshots 4, 4 1/2, and 4 1/2 in the same respective categories. Go with the Holehots. I have them as rear trail tires and they work great..

I was just wondering how the Bandits work on the front of the LT. I have an 86 and have been considering the Bandits. The only thing I am wondering about is how the flat surface on the front tires works with the positive camber of the Suzuki. Does it cause the tires to wear excessively on one side of the tire or does it really make that much difference? Well anyway thanks for your help.

 

qrdude,
No, I have not seen any unusual wear on my bandits. They are excellent track tires and would recommend them over any other front tire. If you are considering them, go for it, you wont be let down...
