Has anyone ever had "too much paddle"?

 

I baught my Extreems from Prowlers and I think it was $225.00 on Douglas black label.

A little more info, a friend of mine Sandsurfer just got a set of 20-10-10 10 padle haulers (not extreem) and he likes them better than mine. We traded tires for a ride and he didn't like the extreems as much as I do.

Good luck.

 

straight paddles will give you much more traction in a drag race. can make a big difference in drag racing. in the dunes they kind of make the bike hard to hang on to when your playing.

 

Hurycne, The only experiance I have with edges are from riding eraptoids quad at sahara. Hills I could idle up to & climb with my Extremes I had to take a run at on edges they spun a lot.

I was over tired with 10 paddle 22x11x10 Haulers. I could pull them fine but the extra drag cost me top speed (Stock gearing). the 8 paddles are just right with my mods.

 

Hurycne My old STU Padla Brat w/a stagger gut are too much tire. They will dig in on starts but once you got started they pulled great. I am going to put the on my LT500R and try the 9 paddles on the DS650.

 

Bill, are you not happy with the comp cut?

 

For V-paddles I dont think there is a single better tire than the Sand Skate II's by Sand Tires Unlimited. As you can see I have them and I really really like them. AZSand said I would gain by going to streights for drags but I love to play alot as well. I get bored going up and down the same hill all of the time. I also recommend getting some good fronts. They make a big difference in handleing. Solid ribs are very fast steering so you have to use some caution. Stabilizer might help with that. Ohhh I ran 3lbs of pressure in my Skates all weekend without even a mark, even with all the rock in the camping areas. They are tuff!!!

 

I have the 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers on my ds and love them. I would like to try the 22's in a 9 paddle, but am not going to run out and buy them. I get a lot of wheelspin with these, so may not be the best for dragging, but I love the roost. I have heard this you have to have the v paddle for duning, but I much prefer the straight design for everything.

I have a buddy that has haulers on his 400 and it just rips. I have to say, if I were buying another tire today it would be the skat trak hauler.

I have the sand skates on my raptor and they are ok, a good durable tire, but I much prefer riding with the haulers.

I dont know what type of bike lengths you would be looking at, but I love the way the tire works for me.

DSjockey I love them for general dune riding. I no longer dig trenches when I take off and I can turn under power. I am going to use the Padla Brat with 9 paddles just for sand drag racing.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking in the mags but nothing there. I'm sure my dealer can get them but I enjoy saving some money whenever possable, can't do that there.
