before i traded my shee for my rappy, i ran 20x11x9 Razrs and loved them! they can be used for every thing! the front Razrs are awesome....they have a strip of tread right down the center of the tire and it works great for steering!

i think razr's are the way to go. my holeshots don't catch any grip. with my experiance with razrs they are a great tire. especailly for dirt and trials.

Im gonna have to say GBC Shredders for a few reasons. 1. because they are VERY cheap! (35 bucks a tire) 2. because they have a killer tread pattern and 3. because you can get them in 2-6 ply.

in my experience.... i tried the shredders first to save a little change but ended up buying a tire groover to try to fix the problem of the tires loading up. i believe they have too many **** too close together. and for the shredder fronts they are nothing to comment on. after all that research i went and bought the razrs and they were a night and day difference. so dont do what i did get the right tire the first time.

Get some Mud Machines for your shee. There are several shee's around here with Mud Machines and they litterly tear up everything. I run them, and they are a great trail tire.

The Ohtsu tires off the 400ex work well. The front is an inch taller than the stock Banshee front. The rear ex tires worked well for me. If you're going to ride on asphalt or gravel, these tires will wear quickly.

The rear tires off the YFZ 450 work very well. If you can find a set, they are very good performing tires, but I figure the same applies to them when it comes to asphalt or gravel riding. I don't know about the 450 fronts.

Unless you're going to be doing extreme woods riding, I would stay away from the 6 ply tires. They are very heavy and unless you encounter very rocky terrain, you should not need the extra puncture resistance.
