Chaparral what is that.IM gessing atv company.Well ill try it.

 

Chaparral Motorsports.com I hope that helps.

 

Don't hold your breath on finding CHEAP tires. Everything petroleum based is going up in price not just at the pumps. I just had my trailer re-upholstered and the foam cushions (petroleum based) cost me an arm and a leg.

Sand stars are probably the best bang for the buck out there for all around sand riding. Most people really like them until they buy haulers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

i have the ims tires mounted on 190 douglas tires but i have yet to try them out so i cant tell you anything lol but they look cool.

nathan I am very familiar with the Badlands Offroad Park you frequent as I live one hour from it and go there lots myself for many years now.

You do not want to run any paddles there at all. it is not true sand, it is nothing like true dune sand, it does not drift and is full of rocks. Any and all paddles will get torn up there.

If you are a mudder then mud tires are what you want, the style made for 4x4's but in a 22" for your DS. But they do not side slide anywhere near as well as knobbies when agressive sport riding, and just all around put a damper on any sport quad when it comes to sport riding.

I have ran many tires at Badlands, and in my opinion what I favor for a DS at the Badlands is wear a knobby set at 3-4psi and stay out of the areas with thick enough mud that you can't get thru. You will have a much better time in the sand this way, and 3-4 psi gives ample traction for climbing any sand hill they have.

Best of all worlds for mud, snow, hardpack, and loose sand is the All Trak - very large aggressive lugs spaced well enough apart for good and fast cleanout, deep and aggressive yet arranged like a knobby for better handling than a utility tire.

Whatever you get, you will best off getting it in 22" on .190 rims, anything thinner will dent too easy in the environment at Badlands, and 20" tires are hardest on rims and skid plates due to less ground clearance. 22" tires will also give much better traction, especially for the heavy DS.

 

For whatever tire or wheel, ebay is the cheapest. I have bought from inlandatv outta cali and they are about the best deal around on new stuff and they sell on ebay aswell.
