a breeze (literally) makes it up a hill your raptor cant get enough grip on....this was utterly utterly sad, can anyone recommend good hill / trail tires?

LOL. Anything would be better then what you got. But IRazr's look awesome. Razr 2's, Holeshots, Mud Machine All Terrains, or anything would work.

hahaha, u know tires are bad when the threads are poping out, that means they are paper thin. for trails, i would go no other way than Kenda Klaws.

those are my burouts i did with my raptor, (4th gear for about 5 mintues) i did them for almost a month with the same tires, 5 mintues a day and they wouldnt pop, they got paper thin and dangerously close however.

I run Kenda Klaw XC somethin's (the 6 ply version) and love them to death.

They're light, awesome tread, amazing on what I can go through. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

that makes absolutely NO sense if you are stuck you won't get out with those tires you will stay UNSTUCK with those tires but once your stuck your stuck

The stock tires arent junk at all. They hook up great in all kinds of terrain, and even better in the sand that most aftermarket tires like the holeshot. They just dont allow much horizontal sliding for trails and track.
