I will be going to the dunes for the first time ever on Halloween. Do I need rear paddle tires or will the stock tires work? There is enough info on this forum to answer which paddle I should go with so all I really need to know is if they are needed. Has anyone been to the dunes with stock rear tires?

Thanks

 

Yeah you can. I want to the dunes the first few times w/out them on a 400ex. You will be fine, you won;t win any races against other 450's w/ paddles. I have alot of fun int he dunes w/ out paddles, your rear end is going to be really loose! Its fun!

 

How did you do on hill climbs?

 

I spent last weekend climbing Sand Mountain Nevada with my stock Dunlops.
Made it up most everything.

 

I woudl bet that there is not a hill you can;t make. There is only about 2-3 different hills I can think of at our dunes that you can;t make it up on stockers. I think we have pretty big hills too.

 

Would I be able to make it up them with the V paddles or would I have to have the straight blade paddle?

 

Either will work just fine. The differences between the two is very minimal.

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll just get paddles. Sounds like it will be easier to climb hills with which is probably what I'll be doing most.

 

if your going to Glamis get paddlesw if you can aford them, i think you will have a better time with them,especialy ith the yfz..

 

Yeah, I think I will. I'll probably be getting some ITP Sand Stars. Unless someone has something to say about them. Anyone running them and are they any good?
