I NOW THAT THE SKAT-TRAX ARE PROBALLY THE BEST,WHAT OTHER TIRE DO YOU RECOMEND?



SCboys -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/13/2008 9:02:33 PM)

Sand Gecko's, Definatly not the best but they do pretty good to be cheap.



Joseph Who? -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/13/2008 10:19:45 PM)

What kind of riding do you do?
What price range are you looking for?
What are they going on and what power adders do you have?

I really liked my sand skate 2s. They were good for turning not the best for hill shooting.

If you want a good all around tire the sand star is probably the best one. Its not too expensive and will be good for hills, sliding and racing. If you just want a really cheap paddle for playing around the sand shark is a good choice. It doesnt grip as much as the sand stars but its better than dirt tires.



Fastford -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/14/2008 10:12:02 PM)

Sand stars get a thumbs up here!!



J Mud -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/19/2008 6:01:48 PM)

J Mud -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/22/2008 8:50:34 PM)

you can blame me I traked down the tires for msimoneaux



RIVER~RAT -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/22/2008 9:12:34 PM)

again all i asked was for him not you (i do not know you) to let me know something before i spent 2 hours looking up prices on tires i told him where to go from the start but he seemed to want to get them from me  but i didnt want to waste my time but it looks like that happened anyway



MSIMONEAUX -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/22/2008 10:22:13 PM)

YEA ,THATS COOL.JMUD IS MY BROTHER,WE TOOK YOUR ADVICE (ROCKY MOUNTAIN ATV)SORRY I DIDNT LET YOU KNOW RONNIE, I NEEDED THEN ASAP.ITS NOT LIKE THAT.I WANTED A PRICE FROM YOU,BUT SPENT A LITTLE MORE TO GET WHAT I REALLY WANTED 



Joseph Who? -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/22/2008 10:53:17 PM)

So you went with haulers? What size, # of paddles, and type did you get? I run 20-11-10, 10 paddle haulers on my yfz and banshee. They're a little agressive but you can climb anything with them.



RIVER~RAT -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/23/2008 12:26:37 AM)

i have been there and done that if you want to look cool then go with the 20x10x10 the low pro looks cool but if your drag racing   21x12x8  way lighter and better roll out and hook up the extra side wall wrinkles like a dragster slick and grows on the top end and will blow away the 20x10x10's



MSIMONEAUX -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/23/2008 7:06:38 AM)

JOSEPH WHO? I went w / the 20 x10x10 8 paddle skat trac edge,im not really plan on racing just playing around,mat regret not getting the haulers which is what my brother got in the 20 x 10 x8.they should do good on the honda 450r 



Rinny650 -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/23/2008 8:01:52 PM)

I ran 12 paddle 24x11x10 haulers on the lumberjack carcass on my V-force. It was awesome to try and hang on to. I wouldnt reccomend haulers for a small bike. I didnt know they would make them in a 20" tire tho.  You will definetly be impressed

Yeah, they're not the best looking IMO but they grip and handle like crazy on the steep hills. I run 22-10-8 pro wedge 2's for drag racing and they almost keep up with the haulers in a sand drag. I didnt buy the haulers though, they came with my dads banshee and he just gave them to me. I probably would have went with an 18 or 19 inch paddle if I had a choice.

WHAAT! 24's!

I bet that was a tight fit. How bad did they scrub the fenders when you land. I know my 20's scrub enough to leave black marks on the bottoms. Also what exactly is the lumberjack carcass? Thicker Im guessing?



Rinny650 -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/24/2008 6:02:39 AM)

The lumberjack is just a cheap thick ply tire. The original tread on them looks like the old wooly booger. I ran 26's one time. I had the stock floorboards removed and just ran nerf bars and then the metal peg off the frame.



RIVER~RAT -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/24/2008 9:59:35 AM)

they have been making the 20's the longest that was there first size the bigger ones came along as the motor size went up on quads  and as far as the pro wedges go yes they are a great tire i ran them at the dirt drags on my Banshee out in the dunes Haulers will pull away at first cause of the awsome traction but paddles rob more power than Wedges so if you run a long enough race the Wedges will come around Haulers on top end but its gonna take more than a 300ft race



Rinny650 -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/24/2008 3:02:39 PM)

I think pro wedge 2's are the absolute best tire I ever ran on my V-force for drang racing other thant the Cheng Shin knobbies with screws. Both of those are way up there. The pro wedge 2's added some lowend to my bike due to the shorter tire carcass but they topped my bike out too soon for the sand drags. Now my haulers did great. Other bikes would sometime get the holeshot on me since I ahd to get the tires spinning to begin with but by them being taller they raised my gearing and gave me nearly limitless topend



Joseph Who? -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/24/2008 9:25:21 PM)

I bet those 12 paddles killed your topend.



Rinny650 -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/24/2008 9:26:57 PM)

I actually needed 14 paddles. Too much power and not enough paddles and all you do is diggggg



Joseph Who? -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/24/2008 9:36:14 PM)

hahah I missed two, you got any dyno charts of the motor your running in that beast? I've never heard of a four stroke ATV motor needing that many paddles.



Rinny650 -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/25/2008 6:06:10 AM)

I never got to put it on a dyno. I even tried it with a set of 16 paddle Skat Trak extremes that came off a guys turbo raptor. I got em spinnign but the nos had to kick in big time. I could run 12 and 14 paddles easy since I ran nos the whole way down the track. I had it set up so when I gagged the throttle and it was pushed all the way back it pushed a mini-momentary switch and there she goes. LEt er eat and hang the F**k on



Joseph Who? -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/26/2008 10:39:40 AM)

thats just nuts man, you ever have to replace the drive shaft or u-joints?



Rinny650 -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/26/2008 5:47:57 PM)

I had rebuildable U-joints custom made. I got them from Tom Woods. He made the custom driveshaft for my truck so I figured he would ahve something good. I did bust the ring gear one time but not the driveshaft. THe belt kept most of the power away form it



Joseph Who? -> RE: WHAT SAND TIRE? (9/26/2008 10:45:48 PM)

You ever see the chain conversion somebody did? I think it was sidewinder, some one off custom piece. Looked pretty legit, they ran the baja 1000 with it when the 700 first came out.
