Default Easiest sliding tire for a stock axled Raptor 660?

Hey i want to know what people like for a rear tire on a raptor with a stock width Raptor 660.

I enjoy sliding around turns about as much as anything....but I do need something with a hair of sideways stability for the occasional sidehill. Just seems kind of difficult to get it to slide on the stock tires and axle...it will slide, but it feels like the outside tire is going to grab and just make it roll, so it is a little tough to always fully commit to the slide.

Any suggestions would be great.

I've seen a few of you run the Kenda Claws...those look like they'd slide pretty well...

I've heard that bandits are great for sliding.

i cant complain about my holeshots, they slide pretty easy and still give you great control.

LOL....so true. Mine are like slicks now and it only took about 6 months. I keep em' around and sometimes do burnouts on pavement with them. Just super inflate the stockers, take em' up to like 20psi and they'll spin slide and probably just ...spin lol If you def. want a new tire, I got klaw MXRs and they slide fine. You need to remeber to shift your weight too, as well as throttle control...very imp. good luck

I was thinking of something with a directional tread. Almost like a TSL Vampire, or something with sort of "paddles" like that...

That would have to slide the best wouldn't it? And I'd imagine with the horizontal tread blocks it would be fine for straight line traction.

Any more thoughts?
