All tires being 22" which is better for a full stage 2 bike. 10 paddle extremes, 7 paddle haulers, or 10 paddle edges? Looking for a good tire to play in the dunes with, but would also like something that would give me great drag racing traction when someone thinks my big ol' wheeler is slow. I know there is probably something better, but I'm just curious about these sets. Thanks.

 

I would go with the 22" extremes they will hook up good but will hurt you a little in the dunes when it comes to turning and sliding under power.

 

8 or 9 paddle should be fine.

 

Go with 8 paddle extremes.... No more paddles then that....

 

No less either. That was an after thought. we have ran all 7,8,9, and 10 paddles on a stage 2 build, and the 8 by far performed the best overall.....

 

I think the first questions should be what dunes do you ride then how much do you and your bike weigh and if you are planning on getting more go fast parts soon and how dose your bike run? some ''stage 2'' bikes run great some not so great

 

The bike has had the typical things done to lighten it a little. It runs real strong, haven't ever lined up against another DS so I don't know if mine is a "good" stage 2. The dunes are Little Sahara in Oklahoma and the small North Shore area of Lugert Lake in Altus. The LS sand seems alot softer than the sand at Lugert. I plan on doing more upgrades a little later, but for now I'm just wanting something a little better than my 20" sandstars. Also I weigh in at 240 at 6'6".

 

Might i suggest 22" 7 paddle haulersi it will help you at the top of dunes.and yet be a good slider in the bowls.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

My bike has a TM45 w/pump, HPR ported intake, 12.5 to 1 piston, web 109's, full CT pipe, RWR CDI, 60% clutch springs, and a +4 swinger.

Out of the 7 paddle haulers and the 10 paddle extremes what would be best for drag racing among buddies?

 

flat or up hill the 7 paddles will benifit you the most more free hp.
