I have factory rear dunlops that are almost new but I need new fronts.I run back roads,mud roads,feilds bush rail line snowmobile trail etc. Should i buy stock fronts? I was looking at bandits too. Are these too aggresive for my backs?

I have a set of new Holeshots on my stock Banshee aluminum wheels that I don't use.

I would like to put them on my son's 99 Blaster.

Will they fit and bolt right on??

How will they look on it?

Are they much larger than the stock Blaster tires and wheels?

Will they make the Blaster more stable and less likely to tip?

Thanks!

Yes they will bolt right on, banshee rear rims wont though.. the fronts are the same thing as the blaster except a little better quality. I had a pair on my old blaster, here is a picture

They wont make it any more stable cuz they are basically the same thing, if you put wide tires on the rear that WILL make it alot more stable.. anyways good luck..

Did you see the article in blaster central about the bandits. this is the only thing that makes me nervous about buying the bandits.I do not want to have to shave them,do you think these will be too heavy up front with the stock rims? Is there any other tires you would recommend?

I wouldnt worry much about the weight thing unless you are a hardcore racer or whatever.. the weight diffrence will be minimal, mabe 1-2lbs total.. As for recommending a tire its all up to you, it depends on your riding style and aera... if you are on hardpack or racing I'd recommend razrs/holeshots/bandits/whatever, in the mud blackwaters (of course ) mudsharks/bearclaws, in the sand paddle tires... its all about what you like...

P.s. when I removed my rear tires and rims and put the blackwaters on they were very close to the same weight, acutally the blackwaters might be a little lighter than the stock ones. (they are on .190's the stock were on steel)
