What?!?
We ran XCRs at the 12hrs of America race and even with a 50" wide quad that was lowered the dang thing was coming up on one around the corners before it would ever slide.
In my opinion the whole Holeshot line has too much sidebite and doesn't allow for enough powersliding.
The XCRs do seem to be made out of a fairly hard compound and does wear well, but do not hook well in the straight line on wet or dryslick hardpack. In medium & soft terrain they had excellent bite though.
Personally, I think handling will improve with 22" tires on the front if you are trail riding/racing. The ride will improve over the 20" stock tires and larger diameter will roll over trail obsticles like ledgerock, logs, etc much better. I also think the 22" tires take some of the twitchyness out of the front.
I've tried both 22" 6 ply RAZRs and 22" 6 ply Holeshot XCT's and liked them both on the front.
If you mainly stick to the track, you might like the shorter fronts better, but for the trail, it's hard to go wrong with a good 22" front.
