I’m replacing all 4 tires and considering just a few so far. I don’t ride much, maybe once a month or less honestly, so something soft and grippy is ideal. Terrain is rocky hardpack and some loose dirt.
Xc master - I like it, but not sure of the looks or the compound. I’m looking for something soft and light.
Holeshot GNCC - it’s the lightest, but how is the hardpack/rock ability? Lugs are big and spaced which I like. Not sure what a typical GNCC race looks like tbh.
Holeshot XCR - also light, and tread looks more suited to my terrain, but won’t slide?
For front the Razr XC looks good, but the Holeshot HD looks great too.
Thanks that’s good to know. I’m kind of leaning toward a 21 inch lightweight tire to avoid regearing, but it’s not a deal breaker.
I’m also pretty sure all of those I listed were 6 ply. And FYI I’m not sure what the stockers are, but I’ve done many rides in sharp shale and rocks and haven’t had a single problem with them, aside from the fact that they are helpless at providing even marginal traction.
Say that all tires were the same price as the XC Master, what would you all choose?
No problem at all sliding when I want it to. I have those on both our Raptors, love them. My brother had holeshots on his Banshee, too soft a compound and wore out very fast.
That’s gonna be a perfect set up. I have a 22” front and it’s close with my nerf bars. I’m going to be switching to a 21”. I wasn’t thinking clearly when I ordered mine.
