i have 22-11-8 10 paddle haulers, i order some 22-11-8 12 paddles. the 10 paddle tires don't hook up for longer swingarms. i also run a 18 tooth front sprocket to try and keep the motor from spinning the tires.

you might try going bigger on the sprocket for now.

Marky brought up a good point (in a round about way). The sand he rides on (correct me if I am wrong) is gennerally speaking pretty wet, heavy, etc. The sand at Sand Mt. NV is light in the summer (correction, extremely light!!!) and in the winter the sand gets heavier with moisture resulting in increased traction.

I really wonder if there is one solution for all riding areas.

One solution is the amount of air pressure in the tires. For heavy wetter sand it is good to add a few lbs of pressure, so that the paddle tire will spin easier. And in light soft (silty) sand it is good to run about 4 lbs of air pressure, letting the tire hook-up more. my .02

Kyle, I also noticed that some sand tires are made of a stiffer rubber than others this will probably make a difference as well. My roosters are very stiff compared to haulers,sand devils,sand skates,sand sharks???? I can run mine without any pressure at all in the soft stuff...

LMAO! Yes AZ, I think I am as well supporting the Quad sand tire industry. I think I will see if someone can weld a rack under my Weekend Warrior for all these set's of tires. I now want a set of 22x11x10-9paddle Haulers. I am going to go ahead and dismount the SandSharks I have and re-use those rims. I will probably put a 4-sale sign on the Sand Sharks when I am up at Sand Mt. next time.

Oh, and if I gave you a hard time for having all those tires, just send me another Crow recipe. I think I have eaten crow every way I can think of now.

I would have ordered the Haulers today for my trip next week but, could not find anyone with them in stock so, I might as well wait for next trip.
