Default Help With Tires???(Desperate)

I need a new set of rear tires but I really don't have a clue as of what to get.I do a lot of trail riding but it's mainly to get to somewhere to jump hills and such.I need something that will pull thru a little bit of mud.Not much just like a wet rut or something.I try to stay out of the mud.Thats not really that big of an issue though.I was looking at the sur-trak but I don't want something thats going to have weak sidewalls or anything.I want something that will have good handling as well.Seems like I hear a whole bunch of people like razrs and holeshots I think they where.I also need something thats decent on tread.
Also I have know idea what size to get.To be honest I don't even know what size my factorys are.
Thanks in advance,
James

I would recommend 22" Bandit XC's....they are actually 20.5" tall and kevlar belted. Excellent trail and mud tire that wears decent......lets the Raptor slide too.

I like the stock ones but I called the dealer for a price and they said they wanted $97 a tire.I can buy two aftermarket ones for that price.Where's a good place to find these tires?
Thanks guys,
James

Has anybody tried any sur-traks?My freind has some on his shee but I don't know how good they are.They seem to have a decent tread pattern but I don't know if they handle well.
So 20x11x9 would be a good size to go with.Let me know.
I'm ordering tires tonight and I still don't know what i'm getting.I also need to know where is the best place to order them from?
Thanks again,
James

22' Sur Trac's work great, but they are a thin walled tire. They are great for trail riding.

20' Razr 2's are really awsome tires, and are 6 ply, so they can take a beating.

22' Mud Machines are extreme tires, but they really rip.

I believe 6-ply means the thickness of the sidewall of the tires..the thicker the sidewall, the more resistant to punctures and ride related stresses...
