Default raptor front tires

holeshots. esp XCT for the front. theyre tall, and steer well and puncture resistant.
the ones for the rear kick *** too, as theyre pretty tough [its rocky here]
xct if youve got rough terrain and rocks, xcr for courses and smoother stuff.
you HAVE to make em slide... thats why i like them. they stay stuck, till you want a correction.
those factory dunlops on the raptor are terrifying! no wonder the Brits drive o the wrong side of the road.....it must be the nearest ditch....
very durable , and you can loosen your shocks a bit cuz the tires are stiffer. You havr gone from a "rowboat i a storm cadillac" to a "glues to the road sports special" quickly.
have fun with it! steer with all four! learn what i mean!

after riding up a rocky power line during an endurance race, I blew my front tire apart ( stock Dunlop garbage). I since put on pure sport bandits. They are kevlar lined and cost half the price. They are also easier to steer and manuever!!! Great choice. You won't go wrong with them or the holeshots.
