What tires should I put on the back of my raptor? The stock ones I have on right now are starting to bald and I need more traction. I ride in mud sand grass and dirt. thank you

Depends on what size you wanna go, I would say Holeshot HD, Maxxis Razr2, or Holeshot XC for 20" in 22" Holeshot XCT or Maxxis Razr2

WOAH???? I road all over hell and back in the dunes with Holeshot XCT's and they worked great, I have ridden in tons of mud and grease with em and they work great + the tread lightly, they dont rut up trails like a mud tire. and they have outstanding durability.

The stock dunlops will outperform the holeshots in loose sand and mud without a problem. I see plenty of riders at the dunes with holeshots buried every five minutes. I have ridden a few machines with them in the dunes, no traction. A friend of mine had them on his quad, no good when the trails got really messy.

Holeshots suck in mud and sand....but they kick *** in dirt, hardpack and anything else you can ride on.
