to help eliminate the tippyness....

some people say Holeshots, but they have a nice side bite too, don't they???

I was thinking Scorpions, Turf Tamers, 400EX rear tires.... etc., etc.

Holeshot XC 20x11x9 will give you 6 ply durability, 1" wider stance each side, & good traction too, JMO!

How do the Holeshots compare to the Razr? I just bought a Raptor and I'm thinking of getting new tires and some spacers to widen out the rear. I almost ordered Razrs earlier today so I'm very curious as to what everyone has to say about this.

Never ridin on the razrs but i like the holeshots,I actually like them better a little used because the tread on both of those tires are wicked..I think either pair would be good ,anything is better than the stock,you will be able to tell a diffrence right away..

I just got a set of RAZR 2s for the back of my raptor. hook nice. slide nice. 6 ply. I like em
had a set of relators. those were cool
had a set of blackwaters....ehh...they need to stick to the big quads...I got em free from my friend so how could I go wrong
turf tamers pack up but hook
stocks are nice for a stock tire [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have had a few. I wouild go with RAZR 2s all around. a deeper lug then orig razrs.
holeshots are good too

Razrs 6ply hold up better than the holeshots XCR 6ply. Holeshots XCRs are lighter and probably handle a little better. You can get 8" or 9" tires. The 9" tires on your stock 8" rims will bulge a little and make it a taller tire but work fine. You might need to drop one tooth on your front sprocket if you go this route. I haven't tried the Razr 2's yet.
