My 3 year old extremes are down over 7mm of paddle compared to new, needless to say it's not too good with a holeshot. Over Thanksgiving ran across a Z400 with paddlabrats, very impressive to say the least. I want some opimions on a comparison between the 2 for drag racing only. Don't mention triple buff extremes cause I'm not that concerned with a couple pounds of weight versus the strength. I'll never be that competetive, but I still want whats the best in a new tire. Has anyone had both? what do you think of each? Thanks!

 

+4 with competition cut brats will be hard to beat.

 

I'm unfamiliar with what is available form STU, so whats the comp cut?

 

Competition cut to Padla Brats is like Triple Buffed to Haulers. They are the lightest and usually dont hold air from the factory. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

They hook very hard. But you have to run a higher gearing with these tires simply because they are 21" tall and do not grow.

 

How are they priced compared to a similar extreme hauler? Do you go for the same number of paddles as from skat-traks

 

last time i checked the brats were 300.00 without rims and that was from Fullerton!

 

Was that for comp cuts or the standards? Going to Genoa tomorrow want to come?

 

You can try the play cuts from Fullerton they hold air fine and are still lighter then most paddles made. Brats only come in 6 or 9 paddle so its hard to match them up with comparable triple buffs.

 

I went from newly repadled 22" 9 paddle extremes to comp cut padlabrats and gained 1 bike length on comp hill in Florence (short). I love these tires for play or racing, I can take off uphill where I would have buried the bike before. I've had good luck holding air but my friend runs slime or an equivelent in his.
They cost more than extremes but the paddles don't tear off. I can't compare them to the tripple buffs. If you run on sand that has sharp objects I'd avoid the comp cut.

 

Approx $400 shipped for 9-paddle comp cut.

They tend to work on bikes up to about 80hp. After that, they start blowing away.
