What are the best ITP hole shot tires on the market for ridign in muddy, rocky, sandy areas. We have a little bit of everything here in the mountainous mountains of western Mass. We have snow / ice as well. I am looking for traction and longevity (how long they last)

And where are the best prices for these tires?

Thank you for the info in advance.

Don't be afraid to step out of the box.

ITP, Maxxis, GBC, CST, and Kenda all make good tires.

In my opinion though, Maxxis and Kenda wear a bit longer.
They are a bit harder compound... and a bit less tacky for certain conditions.


Of what I have ran of the ITP brand, I think I like the Holeshot HD's rears best.
I did not know what to think of the squared looking fronts though, so I matched them with XC fronts... good combo.
The down side to the HD's is the WEIGHT.
Otherwise I really like them. They clear better than I thought and bite real good despite the weird wear on the knobs.


But I think if I were going to limit myself to ITP tires, I think I would give the Holeshot SR tires a shot this time.
The SR's are Sport Radials... never tried radials... but hear they ride softer and bite well without side roll.



Although they are not as good looking of a tire as the ITP HD's... I like plain old Maxxis Razr's pretty good.
Good well-rounded tires in all aspects for the price, so I'm getting less froggy to try all this other stuff.
I'd probably be more likely to try similar priced Kenda tires than something new.

Rocky Mountain ATV has some good deals on tire purchases occasionally... like specials... that are real hard to beat.
