What would be the best sand tires for my DS650 Baja? I'm about 270lbs does this make a difference?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

i think it is more important on the size of tire than what type, the ds is heavy and needs a larger back tire, with the 20" we would get stuck all the time, when we first started to ride, well we got better but if we stopped on any incline and did not roost the person behind us it would sink. well after going to a 22" rear this very seldom happens it gets out of the hole better when racing and overall is just better. well i like the haulers but this all falls to personal choice of riding style, the v's will let the rear slide easier, but i seem to be able to get the haulers to do what i need them to do and they work great on the hill climbs. if i was to get a v i would probably go with the sand skate, oh don't get the gecko for the ds it isn't enough paddle for that big of machine, and if you go 270 it will be worse, well welcome to the game, oh and get a new front sprocket 15 or even 14 there 12.99 at rocky mountain and some may say there not as good which is true but they are a cheap way to figure out what works for you, so when you invest in the good ones you will know you have what you want. i personally like 15-43 but it takes anew chain. well good luck.

 

Go with 22x11x10 Skat-Trak Extrerm's or Edge's or the new ITP Sand Star in 22x11x10. It all depends on what you want to due at the dunes drage race and hill shooting the Extrem's move trough the dunes the Edge's or Sand Stars. You can get them at Daryl Smith Sand Tires in lemon Grove

 

Personally, I like Sand Skate IIs. Those new ITP Sand Stars look very interesting too. Unless you plan to simply shoot hills and drag race all day, go with some type of v-paddle.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Thanx for the help!!!!!

 

don't buy 20" skat-trak haulers or edges, tire too small.

skat-trak now sells extreme paddles, they are much better than standard paddles. don't buy skat-trak standard paddles, they will were and/or break.

 

I run 22x11x10 8 paddle extremes, and they work great except that I can't get enough traction when racing. I will be switching to 12 paddle extremes next summer.
