Default sand tires

i usually barrow a set of itp sand star tires for my quad (raptor 350)when we go to pismo they are a 22x11x10 .they worked great compared to my stockers.
i also just picked up a set of used sand devils (8 paddle) for 50 bucks on doug rims witch are a 20x11x10 will the sand devils work better than the sand stars ? i gess it not to big a deal i got a great deal on them and dont need tobarrow someone elses any more was just wondering how they perform. thanks

I have a set of sand haulers. They look alot like the devils, not sure what the differences are. If they are the same than they are great tires, better than the sand stars for climbing and drag racing. The sand stars i believe are easier to turn and corner.

i generaly like str8 paddles more than v cups but have never ran the sand devil. once u get into the sand more look into getting skat trak haulers they are the best.

Any paddle tire is better than a non-paddle in the sand. With a Rap 350 you'll want to pay close attention to how much the tires load up the motor, especially in soft, dry sand. I've had Skat Trak Edge and Sand Stars, both 20x10x8. The skats were 6 paddle while the ITP's were 8 paddle. The 8 paddle tire really loads the motor in hill climbing. The edge's were better but they're a fair bit more money. Good luck and enjoy the sand.
