Default Warrior Tires

Ive heard that I should get ITP Holeshots XCT or XCR(or something) 20x11x-9 (or something like it). Now, i just slit my rear tire tonight riding, and i dunno how. Im losing air slowly, so i guess i need new rear tires. they were stock, so im not losing much. Well, anyways, if i order just the tires, will they fit on my stock warrior rim? If not, should i just buy the two rear wheels with tires?

It really depends on what you want. If you need to have the ground clearance of stock then the XCT's might be the tire for you. The XCT's are 22 inch rear tires, 6ply, Higher profile tire. The XCR's are a 20 inch, 6 ply tire, lower profile, lighter, and are claimed to be tougher than the XCT's and Equally tough as the XC's. I would say that you can't go wrong with the XCR's but If you NEED the ground clearance the XCT's are an excellant choice as well. Also, I have noticed that when Warriors have 20 inch rear tires and stock fronts they tend to have a sit-back feel, and make the rear sit lower. That can be fixed with lower dirtbike style handlebars or smaller fronts. Remember, with the smaller 20 inch tires they gearing will be dropped slightly and you will loose some on the top end. That can be fixed with sprocket changes. Either going up a tooth or two in the countershaft sprocket or dropping a few teeth on the rear sprocket. Good luck with your decision and you will notice a huge difference in performance and handing after getting rid off the stock tires and throwing on any of these tires.

I like the bandit tires as well they worked great fo me and lasted forever even wit lots of road abuse. And if it was me i would shop around and get a tire /rim set there not much more plus you can get off set wheels and make it a lil wider and look much sharper.

I'd go with 20" razors, razor2's, kenda klaws, or any of the holeshots, all will treat you well.
