Holeshot SR
Company: ITP
Contact: 800/859-4740; www.itptires.com
ITP introduced the new Holeshot SR, a Sport Radial trail tire that combines Holeshot performance with the benefits of radial tire design. Compared to a bias-ply tire, the Holeshot SR offers a more comfortable ride and quality traction over a wide variety of terrain conditions. Based on ITP’s proven split-knob tread design, the Holeshot SR’s dual-siped (thinly cut) knobs offer acceleration on intermediate to hard-packed surfaces, while this tire’s lightweight and low profile results in MX tire-type handling. The Holeshot SR’s widely spaced knobs also slide and brake predictably and provide self-cleaning capabilities on loose surfaces. It also has a longwearing tread compound. The new Holeshot SR rolls out in two sizes, 21/7R10 front and 20x10R9 rear, for most popular late-model sport ATVs.
MSRP: Front 21x7R-10 $78.95 each; rear 20x10R-9 $95.95
