geckos are a cheap, but decent made paddle. they dont last as long as others and they are extremely heavy. My friend had some on his warrior. we switched my extremes for his geckos. they sucked. poor ride, heavy, power robbing piles of rubber. added over a tenth to my 300' time.

i have a set of 23" haulers on 12" rims they have short side walls and as far as working on trails they are great, i also have the 22" haulers on 10" rims and the taller side wall makes the rear a lot sticker when trail riding, but the forward launch when racing is a lot better also. so there is some more to concider for you research.

I would look at the sand shark i just put a set of these on my girlfreinds lt250 20-11-8 on .125 alum douglas got them form rocky mountian for like $120 cheap!!! they are way light and get excellent traction. 12 inch tires are to much for your 250 one inch doesnt sound like a lot but it takes a lot of power to push paddles anyway. I run haulers 22-11-10 on c-series and ther quit a bit hevier than the sharks but that is on my 300 which will haul the bigger tire easier but gearing is crusial with taller tires.


Good luck shopping.. anybody need a 22-11-10 almost new 8 paddle hauler cheap!!! blew sidewall out of one cant buy one at time..


03 hp 300 22-11-10 8 paddle haulers
88 lt500r 20-10-10 10 paddle haulers
91 lt250r 20-11-8 sand sharks

7-8 paddle haulers are the ONLY way to go.

the skat trak haulers are great. If you have a high horse power go with the extremes they last better but cost quite a bit more.

20x10x10 haulers are the way to go with your lt, if price is an issue the sand sharks are a good all around play tire. we sell all kinds of paddles and sand sharks sell the best for an all around tire.

i run ultra lite haulers on my wifes raptor and never had a problem and i'm willing to bet i'm running around 3x the horse that V is putting out. go to the dunes and look at the BIG BOYS bike and see what they are running.

some people like to read hp in crank horse we measure in RWH and yes its a true 80RWH bike, so put your purse down and come to pismo next weekend and my wife will show you how a real bike runs and if you really want to see over a 100+ hp bike run i'll run it.

I'd love to go to Pismo. Haven't been there for years. Even though they closed the majority of the area. It is still fun for the weekend. Let me hook up my nitro bottle. Then we'll race[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
