I have had my raptor for about4 months now. I have a plug in the front right tire, the back left, and now, I have a hole in the front left. I love the machine, but I hate the tires. I am ordering 6 ply holeshots today or tomorrow. Does anyone know if the holeshots last longer than the razrs? I know that razrs wear out pretty fast.

I have never had Holeshots but this question has been brought up before and what I remember is that the holeshots wear out faster than the razr's, but I bet they will still last a while depending on how you ride and what terrain you ride on like blacktop will eat up tires really fast.

How long do the stock Raptor tires last on open desert terrain? Most of the time just flat out hauling with some sliding on trails. I think mine have held up pretty well. There is a definite gripping difference from the time you buy the machine and by the time you put about 20 to 30 hours on the tires. It tends to wear some of the square edge off which allows you to slide the Raptor around. I still have a lot of good thread left.

I'm not sure whether the Holeshots or the Razrs last longer but I hope it's the Razrs because that is what I plan on getting. I'm very happy with the wear on my stock Dunlop tires that came with the Warrior though.

I'll probably go back to the Dunlop tires once I wear mine out. I need a stock rear wheel though, any ideas?
