Okay, I know everybody says the V style tires turn better and that the straight paddles are faster.

So the question is how much harder are the straight paddles to turn? Will you end up fighting the bike trying to get it to turn all day?

Then how much faster are the straight paddles than the V style? Are we talking a big difference? I am not big into drag racing but it is fun and will probably do more of it with the 525. Are we talking quad lengths? or just little bit better out of the hole?

Thanks for any input.

 

This all hearsay, but if you are gonna drag, get scoop paddles(i.e. skat trak haulers). If you're gonna dune ride with them you're gonna want sand tires (with the ridge down the center) on the front too. If you're gonna be dune riding only get sand sharks or sandstars. You can get away with stock tires up front with these. Also every single person i've talked to has told me to steer clear of gecko's, don't hook up as well and they've had problems with holding air and coming off the bead.
