Default holeshot tires

Whats so special about these holeshot tires, everytime I hear someone talking about tires, people recommend the holeshots. I actually have a set on my raptor but I'm looking for new rubber, I actually like the sock tires. Whats the deal?

Aftermarket tires are a lot stronger then stock tires... plus much more grip...after my stock Dunlop's became crap a put some holeshot xcr's on and could feel a huge difference...the xcr's are 6ply to so its a lot harder to pop a hole in the sidewall

I have XC's on front and XCT's on the rear. No punctures to date. The tires have lasted forever. The "regular" holeshots are much softer tread though and won't wear as long. The MX tires are really soft, but work great for that.

I will probably not consider any other brand at the time of my next purchase.

ITP deserves an award for their commitment to continually improve their tires and further the sport.

I think Holeshot has some kind of monopoly in the ATV tire business. Theyre all you hear about. I got suckered in and bought a set for my 660, and I hated them! They weighed a ton and didnt hook all that great. The new GNCC Holeshots are supposed to be pretty good, but I'll stick with my Ohtsu 501's. They are only 2 ply, so bring the fix-a-flat, but they hook like a *****, and they only cost $60 apiece.

You get what you pay for in this hobby/sport. Holeshots are the best of the best. Im not saying that razr's or kendas suck.

I have holeshots and love them. I will be getting holeshot mx tires soon as well.

how do paddles perform in the woods? I know they are for the sand and whatnot but just out of curiosity. I think they just look badass! I would also imagine that it would be somewhat awkward riding a wheelie with them on

The holeshots will hook up and handle alot better. But they will also ride alot rougher being that they're 4 & 6 ply.
