I recently bought a 2000 blaster and i was wondering what the best tires would be for racing i know holeshots are good but my friend has them on his banshee and they wore away in a week (i ride on grass and clay it is usually wet)

 

Quarryboy, Altho you failed to mention what kind of racing you're doing, you might look at the BanditXC from Pure Sport. It's a fairly hard rubber compound with a tread so deep you could drop a Buick in them. If you just ride on grass & clay I doubt you'd wear them out very fast. The tread lugs seem to be fairly self cleaning also. I'm on my 2nd pair of rears on my Warrior & still on the 1st pair on the front for over a year. Down here in Az it is all rocks or hard pack caliche & a killer on tires. These tires hook up like nothing I've ever used before.
Hole Shots & Razrs are very good tires also but as you discovered, they use a soft compound and durability is not their strong point.
If you decide on the Bandits be sure to specify the XC's. They are a four ply with a Kevlar liner from bead to bead. There's little or no roll-over in hard riding, allowing you to maintain your line in turns, and also more resistance to punctures.

Get 21x7-10 for front and for rear get 20x11-8 I am getting them

 

Bandits XC are the only tire I will use in AZ. Nothing else will hold up to the rocks. Reinforcing Rings are a good plus too.

But they are not the best tire for soft stuff. They just dig until your skid plate is on the ground.

P.S. Shave the outer row of ***** off the front tires to help stop that wondering problem.
