I'm going to purchase some new tires today but not sure what to go with. but i do know im getting rid of the factory tires. a stump punch a hole about three inches in diameter in the left front yesterday. this will be the third hole but this one is to big to patch. what tires are you guys running and do you like them? thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I put a set of Razors on mine they work great and they come in 6ply which is nice. The rear razors will let the raptor slide around alot better and the front razors clean out and hook up real good!

Xtreme165,
How long have you had your razrs? And have you had any flats? I do alot of desert riding and I'm
wondering how durable they are?

I also run Razors on my raptor and they are AWSOME.Make sure you get the 6 ply and I would stick with the factory sizes and the factory rims.I just wish they worked a little better in the deep mud I encounter from time to time.I would give 2 thumbs up to the razors

I have had my razors for about 1 month and no I havent had any flats they hold up as good as any other tire thats 6 ply. I think you'll be happy with them, not sure how they'll hook up in the desert I have never rode in the desert, but I do ride alot of woods and lately there has been alot of rocks so for durability and performance in the rocky wooded areas that I ride I give them 2 thumbs up!

Anyone have any opinions on Bandit tires? I like the looks of the new XCR 23" frt bandits that are new on the market. How do they grip and slide? Anyone have these tires on their Raptor?

Scottd,
I'm also looking at bandits for my raptor, but I can't find anyone that has used them. I'm thinking about taking the holeshots off my warrior and putting them on the raptor to check it out. They're the xct(6ply) and work great on the warrior.
