Those new ITP Sand Stars do look interesting. I prefer Sand Skate IIs for the rear and Dunetrackers up front. But I'll bet the Sand Stars work pretty well too. Has anyone out there used them yet?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

if i were you i would throw those tires in the trash. the buffed mohalks are lighter smaller turn better and its easer to push your your bike on sand with buffed tires.

 

To whom are you talking? And by the way, if you select your tires based on how well they enable you to push your quad on sand, you've got some major issues! I'd say it's time to get a machine that was actually made since Reagan left office![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

I've ran knobbies, mowhawks, smoothies, and razors. When I turn I want to turn RIGHT NOW and thats why I have a set of Dune Trackers on. From my exp. a full rib type tire (razorbacks) turns the best althought they seem a bit 'twitchier' than mowhawks till you get used to them.

 

I think mohawks are a good tire, but I think the Dune Trackers perform better in soft, dry sand than mohawks. They float and corner much harder than Mohawks. If one finds a good deal on used Mohawks I recommend them....but if buying new, I steer people toward Dune Trackers.

 

Tire pressure is a big variable also. I ran 5 lbs in my dune trackers and did not get the instant turn I expected. Went up to 7 lbs and man what a difference. Turns on a dime. I was told Mohawks basicly perform like stock nobbies. Plus, I believe Mohawks do not come in a 22 inch tire.

 

What about the Kenda Dunerunners? are they as good as the Dunetrackers? I just ordered the Kendas, but I hear more talk about the Gbc.

 

Far as I know they should be the same. They're basically identical tires.

 

Thanks Treeshot for the input, and from now on I will refer to the steeps and deeps as Treeshots, and not that other phrase you do not appreciate.

 

Bah, lol. You don't have to call them treeshots. Everyone has their own name for things, everyone I ride with happens to call them that. I just try to avoid calling them idiot holes cause I spend alot of time playing in them. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I like the challenge so the harder they are the better.
