ITP Holeshot XCR

[darkside94]

Hi. I want to get these tires for a Yamaha Raptor 660. Will these tires fit onto the stock rims? The specs for the tires are 20 x 11-9 but the stock tires are 20 x 10-9. If these tires do fit do you think they would do well in loose/soft dirt(not sand),trails, and hills(not dunes). Also how do these tires handle on pavement?

they will fit 

Members here are running them with great results 

None of the HS or maxxis razors are designed for road use.  They are a supersoft compound that will wear away real fast on a hard surface.

Negative, I race with HS GNCCs, similar design.  The turned knobs add side bite for nastier terrain.

how durable are XCR's if i run them on mainly hard/soft dirt and in trails? how long will they last

They were the standard for GNCC racing for a long time, stay off the black top and they'll serve you well

do these tires slide on dirt good at all

I'm running BRAND NEW XCR's on the back of my 700. Oh man.. I can't give them enough praise. They saw their first XC race this past weekend. They did their job and then some!

how are they on acceleration? do they get a good bite on take off? how do they handle at high speeds?

[FoundArealQuad]

+1 they are good tires

[Krandall]

Takeoff they gripped like a mo-fo.

I didn't get them to high speed since it was woods racing. but they more than did their job for sure!

No offense darkside, but when a tire is used in a racing series, don't you think that those questions are redundant??

what you are saying makes sense but im trying to get what is best for ME not what works best for them

All good, I understand.  Just thinking that the GNCC racing series is about the most abuseive on tires there is. 

Also, since they are near the same in cost, consider the GNCCs.  They are the lightest 6 ply tire on the market and grip like no other.

They also self clean really well for when your in muddy conditions

are they as durable as the xcr's? are they puncture resistant because i do occasionally come across stuff that could easily pop a tire but i usually avoid it but going at a higher speed i might not be able to do that . but this is not my main priority
