Default Best Raptor 350 tires?

Alright thanks, now another question, is it better to have the same tires on all 4? Or have say a set of itp xcrs in the rear, then have a set of maxxis razrs in the front?

Default Best Raptor 350 tires?

Wow, so hard to make a choice, lol. Like i want to get a good tire, but I dont wanna spend a lot of money. I wanna have good traction in the trails and mud, but I also want good sliding power, and decent traction in the winter, yet I still want a flat tire and needs to look good lol.

Like Im thinking maybe the itp xcr with the maxxis [not the II] in the front.

Would this perform well? or do the opposite?

Thanks for the help guys

I had a set of Holeshot XCR's on my Raptor 660 and I never did like them. They never hooked up when I wanted them to. I have never had a set of GNCC's, but my buddy put a set on his 450 and said it was the best thing he ever did. I'm going to put a set on mine whenever mine wear out. It's OK to have one kind on the front and a different kind on the back. All because you like a particular rear tire does not mean you will like the front tire that matches it.

Alright, I still am a little confused on what I should do. The only tires I ever used were the maxxis razrs, I was very happy with them, and there traction, but I am looking for something with a little more sliding power around turns and stuff, but i still need a long-lasting tread.

I have about narrowed it down to the maxxis razers, itp xcr, or the itp gncc. Im leaning toward the xcrs in the back and maxxis fronts because it says the xcr is meant for the 4 stroke sport quads.

On the front I would get a 6 ply tire so thorns won't give you a hole. Just get something with a bit of tread so you will get some good traction. If you really go through a lot of mud and always find yourself stuck, the Interco Swamplites are very nice. I run 22" swamplites on my Warrior and they are great in the mud, even for it being a sport quad I can make it quite far with those tires.

Whats the tread ware like on the itp xcr's? I think im gonna go with the itp xcr in the front and the maxxis [1 or 2] or gncc is the front.

But what has a longer lasting tread?
