Default sport quad tire shootout

I want to hear everything good and bad about all of the sport quad tires on the market. Bandits, realtors, holeshots, razors, turf tamers, fast trekkers, klaws, shredders, and gnarlies. Since I have some experience with fast trekkers I can tell you that they slide good they hook up great and they are relativly inexpensive. The cons are that the tire is like an inch and a half shorter than what it says on the side of the tire and the tread is starting to wear prematurly. So let's hear about tires you know about.

ive got Turf Tamer rear 18''ers. They are great for sliding but still hook up really good, especially if you get them grooved.

For fronts i have some custom grooved radials from K&K... they are SUPREME!!!

I have ran just about every motocross tire there is and by far i like the kenda kalws front and rear for 4 strokes. But on my 2 stroke i like ITP Holeshot mxr's in the rear with kenda klaws in the front.

I've run Shredders for 3 yrs and have been very pleased with them, really no dis-likes.
I still run the Realtors on my second quad after 3 yrs, great mud and sand tire combo.

I'm ordering a set of rear Kenda Klaws for my Raptor, 20x11x9's on ITP's ~ first of next week! Can't wait to try them puppies out! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I'm running 20" Holeshot Mx Fronts on stock rims, and 20" Holeshot XCR's in the back on 10" Douglas Billet Ultimate rims in the rear with a +2 set Durablue axle and can say that the tires make a huge difference in handling! Just as much if not more than the axle itself and the hookup is crazy, especially on hardpact and they slide awesome... In a race against a Pred he stood no chance whatsoever off the line in anything but gravel, but on pavement he'd grab the holeshot cause I'd hook up too much and couldn't keep the front end down, even sitting on the gas tank! I run Fast Trekkers 20" on my stock rears in the winter and they are perfect for the snow with studs in them... The center paddle like tread pattern works great for deeper snow and the stiffer knobbie setup works awesome for everything else, I luv them too, would run those too if you ran in softer loose soil... I'm going to buy a second set of Fast Trekkers just for ridding in sand... I use my Holeshots for woods and XC riding, they can't be touched, they even worked great in the sand too!

I've used Razr's and Shredders. I prefer the Shredders. They slide just as well as the Razr's, but have much better straight line traction. They also wear better and are more cut resistant.
