Hey everybody, I am getting to the point that I need some new front tires. I need something that I can ride Mx, but then ride trails too. I really would like to keep is sorda cheap in price.. but not really in quality. I'm seriously thinking about fast trekkers. The tread is close to the banshee stock, and it handles pretty good. What about RAZRS? Do they handle good in sandy/loamy soil? Do they tend to float in the corners? Friend of mine has bandit fts but the tread is huge! I would really like to keep it to a smaller profile. Thanks,

The mx radials are a good chice they are 21x7x10. They do not work well in mud. The mud cakes up on the front tires and you cannot steer. Another thing to add they are a stiffer tire. The regular atv tires have a lot of play on the side walls. We have them on all our bikes exceprt for the new 400ex. But give it some time and i am sure they will be on there.

Well, I ride on the roads a little and rocky trails alot. How do they hold up? Unless something changes quickly, i will be riding on more trails than track. I ride on the road over to a friend's house where we ride on the track. Are the tires 2 or 4 ply? Do they handle good? How heavy are they? Thanks,

The tires are a steel belted radial car tire that is grooved for off road use. Not sure about how many ply it is. They are a very durable tire. If i ever bought another bike that would be the fisrt purchase Radial tires for the front..

i ride holeshot front tires and they seem to work well on Mx and trails. the rear turf tamers aren't a very good trail tire though.
