ok ill check out that website...

i just called rocky and for a set of sand stars in 22x11x10 mounted on.190 its 189 plus shipping... so 225 ish shipped.... (my guess was close)

 

yes the extremes are more durable but I have a set of regular haulers that have been all over the country and are still like new. as long as they stay off pavement and rocks they are durable enough. if I do have to take pavement to get to the dunes from the lot, I go very slow and don't spin.

10 paddes will work well at sea level, but HP loss at altitude if you head out west will cost you big and 8 paddles is much more desirable when climbing sand mountain utah or choke cherry idaho. 22" definitely, for more reasons than I have time to even list.

I sure like the fun of vees the most, no doubt, but you can spin a hauler around too with technique and the right gearing - but not as tight, and 22" dune trakker fronts help alot too and are cheap.
also consider rotating mass if you wanna drag a lot. the 22" 8 paddle hauler is the lightest by far, 4 pounds lighter than an edge, way lighter than any molded tire. I would say if you want a vee go with edge. several pounds of tire costs accel time, and in 100yrd drags can mean a lot.

 

Except competition cut Sand Tire Unlimited!

 

haulers are what work best. of those two choices

 

Okay, but do the 22 inch haulers donut and hit the heel guards on an '04?

 

Roost,

I did notice a small difference sliding with the Sand stars but I like the haulers so much better. If I don't plan on racing that day or just going out and duning for a few hours then I put the sand stars on. I do have a +4 swing arm so I can't slide in the sand with paddles that well to start with. If you want a great sliding paddle try the gecko's That is the only thing they are good for. I wouldn't put them on my quad but I do put them on my brother's
