well im thinking of getting some new front tires for my blaster because my fronts are about slick
best tire for woods raceing
- Thread starter mud runner
- Start date
my personal all time favorite was the "pure sport bandit kevlar belted 6 ply", but i've proven even bullet proof belting can be destroyed 
i say "was" as they're no longer made.
but most gncc style racers don't like the flat profile they had, they're harder to steer, leading to more fatigue over the course of a race.
you can't go wrong with any of the 6 ply ITP's or Maxxis'

MX tires (holeshot mxr6) won't last a lap in a woods race- those duro's are kinda pricey for what they are.
Pro's run maxxis razr 1's in the rear, and maxxis razr 2's in front.
Lots of gncc guys on a budget are switching to GBC X-rex all aroud- which has the exact same tred pattern as the maxxis razr 2's- for a lot less $$.
You can find a set of 4 gbc x-rex's online for $240- i paid $300 for all 4 of mine and that was with mounting at a shop.
those gncc holeshots would work to- but i've never used them yet.
Woods racing your going to need a 6-ply tire- and beadlocks wouldn't be a bad investment either.
btw...i just noticed a 20" front tire is listed ?
20" fronts are for mx tracks only IMO.
do not run a 20 front tire in the woods, you need all the extra height you can get, with at least a 21" tire, i prefer and run 22"s myself for added clearence over rocks/ruts/roots
both of those sets of fronts below \/ are 22" w/20" rears

I would say any type of hole shots, i got douglas holeshots or w/e they are called, and they will do awesome in our woods, rip corners and stand her up even in higher gears I:II:I
Gncc all.day and i have seen some x rex at summit racing and they seem like the side walls are.thin and they dont really have side bite
maxxis razr i like these they bite and handle good on rough terrain pull the front end up 1 2 3rd gear
well it doesent look like im gonna race this season but i need some tires that will last a a couple years beacuse i ride on the road some and alot of hard pack and grip good
Everyone usually recommends itp but ambush tires have been the best for me. I ride with banshees in the woods and they hook up better than razr tires, itp wholeshots, and sooo many others. The only thing is that they will catch grip really easily on hills and come up with you.
