watkins Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 (edited) I just bought some Holeshot (std) tires 20x11x10 on ITP Steel for the bike to replace the stockers... are these any good? I wanted some Razr II's but I needed the tires really quick and the dealer didnt have anything in stock...did I make a mistake? This will be for open desert riding and fireroads.

Banshee17Racing Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I wouldn't necessarily say you made a mistake. It all depends on what you wanted the Razr 2's for. I've heard plenty of good things about holeshots. I am kind of a "razr" fan. I'm sure those Holeshots were a little cheaper than Razr 2's. By the way....those aren't really steel rims, are they?

watkins Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I was just concerned because they are the "plain jane" holeshots.. not the HD's or the MXR's or anything like that.. just regular ones. Will the hookup any better than the stock tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REV-I-DOO Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 They should. I just got a set of HD's and they are 100% better than stock. They hook up like a bitch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broke Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I ran a set of standards for two years, they are great tires. Mine never had an issue with excessive wear, but I never ride on the street. The hooked up just as well/poorly as any othe tire I have ever run(just about all). I just switched to a set of HDs, but with no motor I have not had a chance to try them. I would say you will probably be happy with them, really happy considering you are switching from stockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk02banshee Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 I'd never give up my holeshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Love my XCR's. Nice to have 2 extra ply for trail riding...don't even notice the slight weight difference. Got 'em all around, front and rear. They're not great for hard, hard pack...but, then again neither is the shee powerband... For softer stuff, trails...they're very nice!!

locogato11283 Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 only ones i would run would be HD's. ive never been a fan of razr type tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sno_pro27 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 XCR's are way to sticky for the street, no burn outs, cookies or slide jobs, but they are friggen awesome in the dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkins Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Took them out on a trial run today.... let me tell ya i thought the stockers were bad.. but not that bad... my god the holeshots are AWESOME! Even just the plain ones I got hooked up really good. Makes it seem like i never had tires on it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Yep...stockers are junk...as most stock tires are. I got my 96 in February...and my buddy hardly ever rode it. After one ride, XCRs went on all 4 corners!! It's amazing how "new" a bike can feel when it's got good sneakers on it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
