What tires would you guys recommend for a banshee. i usally ride hard pack and some times mud. I have always had a eye on the bandits are these a good choice?..Just wanted to know what all you guys are running. Also do the 22" tires really give that much more ground clearance, im thinkin about a inch or so? The reason i ask is becuase i would like to run 20" becuase i like the low center of gravity.
thanks

I like my all-traks in 22x11x10.Not as good as a smaller **** size(i.e. holeshot) in the hardpack but good enough and way better in the mud and loose stuff.Seem to hold up well too I havent had any holes since I reversed the wheels so the offset was back to the same as stock.As far as the 22" goes it's only an inch or 2 depending on the 2 tires you compare but here in ohio it made all the difference betweeen high centering the axle carrier or driving over with no contact.I will not put any other size on unless I wanted to race mx or something else where there are not many rocks and ruts

Although you probably havent ever seen these tires Trail Claw 2 I have to say that these are the best tires I have ever used and the were a lot better than the holeshots I got rid of and the trail claws are damn good in mud and great in snow and the will fit the banshee rim a 20x11x9 and that is what I have on my warrior and it gets around good.

I run 18" Holeshots. They suck in the loose sand, but on hard packed dirt they are awsome. I also have 20" Trailclaws. Those tires seem to hook good on anything, and if you like the squared look. I rode with some guys from Wisconsin and they swear by them. I have a set of Kenda Vipers 20" that are good all around tires, but they are more round so I don't run them much. Front tires are Shreaders, they work great. Don't forget to get a set of paddles 20x8x10 so you can let that thing do what it was built for.Ripping on some dunes!!!!!!
