Advice needed on paddle tires......
#1
I'm looking at different brands of paddles for my '01 DS. I am running 23" holeshot XCT's on the front, so I don't want to go too small in back with paddles. I will probably stay away from Skat trak's because a buddy of mine continually battles flats, and I think that the "carcass" of the tires is too thin. Has anybody tried the Kenda Dunerunners in a 22x11x10 size (they actually measure about 21"? How about the GBC Sand Sharks (a "V" paddle that measures out at about 20"? Any tire-to-footguard clearance problems? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone make a 22x11x9 V shaped paddle tire? I'd really like to use my stock rims which I feel are perfect for duning without the renforcing rings.
Has anyone in this forum experienced both V shaped and straight paddles on a DS? I'm curious to know just how much difference there is between the two for recreational riding.
I can tell you which paddle NOT to use on a DS: The Kenda Trakker 20x12x9. These low budget V shaped paddles appear to be (I have never measured) about 18" tall, and are definatly a VERY low profile. They allow little to no ground clearance and you'll spend your entire day digging yourself out of holes. I also heard from a friend who rides a Banshee that they don't hook up nearly as well as other paddles seemingly due to the paddle itself being rather soft. If anyone has a smaller non-DS650 ATV that need some paddles for a good price, let me know [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I'd say stay away from the 20x11x9 8 paddle haulers. I have a set of 20x11x10 8 paddle haulers on my Mojave, and they are perfect for that 250cc 4 stroke. The profile on them isn't quite 20" either - they look like they'ed measure between 18-19". (Slightly larger than the Kenda Trakkers I had on my DS.)
