Paddle tires for Glamis

A few weeks ago someone wanted to know whether or not to buy paddles for the first time at Glamis, I think for a 250 Trailblazer. Did you spend the money or try it first? Just curious

Paddle tires for Glamis

Riding the dunes without paddles is possible but not enjoyable. The thing is that you can kinda cruise around without them but that is it. When it comes to "Duning" you will appreciate the extra traction and in some areas you will not get there without them. I highly recomend the ITP Sandstars they are inexpansive and the traction is good not to mention they are fairly light. Just my opinion.

I agree with what FNUser said but I wonder if the Sandstars would be too much for the 250 Trailblazer. Maybe the Sand Sharks? Anybody tried the Sandstars on a Trailblazer? (I'm assuming its close to stock)
