I need to know what type of tires are good for my Raptor. I ride in fields, mud, trails, snow. My favorite thing to do is stunts and stuff if that helps. Also, traction is kinda important because I'll be dragging a few dirt bikes. Thanks

I would have to say the new ITP Holeshots, I don't know the name, but they get some good traction.

i definatly agree, they are the best all around tires, the only downside is they wear kinda fast on hardpacked terrain.

I woulf like some feedback here as well. I have ran, of course, the stock tires, Bandits, and Shredders. All have had good wear, the stockers and shredders do not want too slide though....which hurts on a Raptor. The Bandits slide very well and outperform the Shredders and stockers everywhere but hard pack....and they hold their own there. I was content on using another set of rear Bandits, but convinced myself too try a set of Klaws. Have a set on my back porch now. I can reverse them for soft wintertime riding as well. Whats everyones opinion on Raptor rear tires? I have not found a real difference on various front tires.

For fields, mud, trails and snow I think the Holeshot H-D tire is king. Awesome dirt traction and they clean out pretty well for an X pattern tire.

I been Using My Razrs for a while now and while i like them and they a decent Tire. i just like the handling characteristics of Holeshots better. My next tires will be Holeshot HD. My main beef with the Razr's is the front tires are too rolly and tooo pointy, and the back tires dont have enough edges and they are chunkin off pretty good from the cinder blocks on the trails. the razr2 will end up bein a road tire for me and i will get another set of rims form My holeshots.
