the fron feel like they dig way too hard in corners even when im leaned back and those are puresports 21x7x10 i think off an older raptor 660, the rears are razr2s 22inch i dnt know the other dimension , and they dont hook well out of the corners

 

I think the problem is the tires. Those pure sport fronts are squared off. They look like an old narrow bias ply tire off of a model T. That is why they are digging in the corners. There is a reson why every other mx or genral front tire is rounded. I rode a blaster with those front tires and it drove like crap. I dont know if they were pure sports, or fast treakers but they were bad.

 

I run Duro Hookups on my raptor. They are a 6 ply RADIAL tire. They are a knock off version of the Maxxis I razr.

 

The tread lay out on the Duro Hookup's is a little farther spacing (more agressive.)

there we go......yah, i depends on what tires and what you need to do....

i have the same fronts, just a little worn, and running kenda bear claws 22/12/9's in the rear. the fronts are built to run square, but i don't see them as digging in too much in any terrain, unless you are running really low psi. i would check the toe adjustment first thing. now the rears-it's pretty easy. just fill them up to 6psi, or 5, whatever they are rated,, and head out. bring one of those cheap tire gauges, and a hand or foot pump and ratchet strap with you and start letting air out, a little at a time, untill you get it better performance. of you do actually spin the tire off the bead, then just wrap the strap around the center to push the bead out and pump it up. i've run 4-0 psi in many terrains, and do between 2-3 in woods ridding, but i have thick mud tires..

itp trac stars 23x7x10 with deep dish rims up front in order to widen the front end @ 4psi........itp trac stars 22x11x10 on the rear with 4 psi... i weigh 345lbs and have never had a flat with these tires. they work in the sand great too and rocks or anything you can throw at them.

Sounds like 3psi would be a good starting point and it is what I am currently running on my rears. I had originally put like 15 in it and went out to ride and just spun every where I went. I hadn't ever had to air up my quad tires before so it was my first time setting it up.
