I have Bandit front and rear tires on my Raptor. The rears have a very flat profile and they stick out about an inch on either side of the rim which helps make the ride more stable. They also bulge out around the bead of the rim more than stock tires and help to protect the rims when riding in rocky terrain. The ***** are fairly close together so they don't give the kind of traction that the stock tires do in mud or snow but in dirt they give just the right amount of forward traction but slide well in corners. They slide very predictably, especially compared to holeshots. I ride in wooded trails and they work great for my purposes. I don't recommend them for a machine that has a hard power hit like the Banshee. Just as importantly, they are WAY more puncture resistant than the stock tires on any machine.

Don't agree!! Holeshots suck. They leak air and wear out too fast! Love my Bandits!
