If you are interested in non-standard choices, you might also look into the offerings of Sand Tires Unlimited. 9 paddle Padla Brats or 18 paddle Stagger cut Padla Brats in a competition cut are a good option.

 

BlackHawk-Thanks for the suggestion.I am interested in something different especially if i can make some real gains on the hill.My main concern is the weight of my 9 paddle extremes because with wheels they weigh about 16 lbs each and i am pretty sure that i could reduce that by a large margin with the right tire.I will check out the STU website.

 

Mike our tripple buffs weight in from 10 to 12 lbs.

 

Mike,

I would consider doing the left one to[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Glenn.Is that weight with the wheel?If that is with a wheel that would be a big weight savings.I am going to do all the small things that i can to squeeze that little bit more out of this set up and tires will be my first change.The Extremes seem to do pretty good but 16 lbs with a wheel has got to be slowing me down some.Lets see how do i explain to the wife that the new Extremes and wheels that i just bought are not excatly what i need?I know, i need a spare set yeah thats it.LOL.

 

Glenn -

Are those the 25" on 9" wheels?

 

Both 8 and 9s all are real close

 

How about som comp cut brats? just a thought

 

I haven't weighed my tires, but all comp cut STU tires weigh similar - my tire / rim combo is light enough I can hold it up with one finger.

You might call Joe @ Fullerton Sand Sport for the STUs, and of course Glenn's Skat Traks sound nice as well. The STUs get noticed more than the Skats though.
