Default Cant make a decision.........tires

Well i need a new front tire and wheel kit real bad and im having a real hardtime makeing a decision on what tires to get......im either going to go with regular razrs or holeshot HD's.....i can get the HD's mounted on T9's for 230 shipped and i can get the razrs for 200 shipped on red lables............now which ever tire i get, im also going to be getting for the rear eventually......i can bet the HD's will be better in every condition then the razrs but the HD's are also heavy and i heard they wear fast so what do all you think i should go with? Also, another posibility i was considering would be the xct's, how do these wear, and how do they compare to the HD's and razrs?

well in my opinion front tires dont have nearly the effect on handling than the rears. so i would get whatever rear tires are better and then get just get them in front if that makes any sence

basically what i wanna know is, do all the holeshot type tires(HD's, XCTs, XCRS) wear quicker or have a softer compound then the razr tires because i just want somthing that will last long because i know both tires will get good bite and probally work out for me so which tires will wear better(slower) or will they be about the same?

IM haveing the same dilema between holeshot xcr or I razr I thought about the HD's but i dont like the profile they just look big and bulke and are far to heavy were the xcr hole shots or the I razr are 6 ply which is great have a low profile much better looking and weigh considerable less.

i really dont like the fact that the hd's weigh alot also..............how do the xcrs/xcts compare to the HD's because i would like to get a lighter tire would the xcr/xct have more tred and/or be better then the standard razr

Im trying to see were i read it at but I remember it saying the HD weighs like 3 pounds more than the xcr's and the Irazr weighs a lil less than the xcr's thinking it was a lil less than a pound but the hdz weighing that much more is going to drag you down with out a doubt im pretty sure im going with the IRAZR on back and the holeshot xcr's on front i dis like the looks of the irazr fronts anyways let me know which way you go it will be atleast another month before i buy.

i got Holeshot XCR's, The compound is a little soft, but i ride them ALOT and in the road sometimes, and they show no sighn of wear yet. they grip unbeleivable, expecially in the snow and soft sand, trails. i love them wouldent trade for anything. The XCR's and 6-ply yet lightweight.
