What is the best way to go on a YFZ450 and what size? Leaning towrds extreme haulers. Thanks
Will be draging and climbing steep hills at St. Anthony dunes.

 

My 14 year old son was able to ride a wheelie in second gear all the way up Thunder Hill with his YFZ when he was just goofing off and seeing how far he could ride a wheelie up hill. And he easily climbed Choke Cherry Hill several times. We are running 20" eight paddle Haulers on his YFZ, and it is super fast with those tires and an HMF full exhaust. I like the idea of staying with a light weight tire with the 450s, and his YFZ seems to work real good with that combo. I run 22" nine paddle Rippers on my DS, and his tires work better for him than mine do for me. The Ripper is kind of an "extreme" Extreme, if you know what I mean. It has 1/8" taller and 1/4" thicker paddles than regular Haulers; and 1/8" taller and 1/8" thicker paddles than Extreme Haulers; and 1/8" shorter, and 1/4" thicker paddles than Taller Haulers.

 

the 21x12x8 haulers work great i saw a few 450's running these and they seemed to be faster than than the more popular 20 inch versions.

 

You will not find the 21X12- 8 haulers anywhere now..Skat is not able to get that size tire carcass anymore..they are being replaced by the 22" haulers.

I run 20X11-9 8 paddle haulers on stock YFZ rims and they work extremely well for all round duning.. The 21" haulers may be slighty better for top end hillshooting and dragging..

 

I've been running 20x10x10 9 paddle tires very well in the dunes but am jumping up to my 22x11x10 10 paddle extremes off my Rappy to see how they do. I'm expecting them to really help with traction and hillshooting.

For an awesome all purpose paddle tire the Extreme Haulers are absolutly great! 20x10x10 9 paddle haulers should be about perfect for a YFZ.

 

20-11-9 8paddle Haulers!

 

mnrap you can still find a few sets here and there. i picked mine up about a month ago.

 

where at? ive wanted a pair for a long time and havent been able to find them.

 

my bro in law and i got the last 2 pairs from fullerton sand sports. I'm not sure of any places that have any but there has to be a few pairs laying around somewhere.

 

My buddies YFZ slowed WAY down going up Olds hill will 20" 10 paddle Haulers. Too much paddle. The YFZ needs wheel speed to be fast. Switching to 8 paddles picked the speed up. With the 10 paddles, my 416EX is a dead heat for him. With the 8 paddles, he crushes me by about 8-10 lengths.
