I don't think there are that many people out their that have objectivly ridden all of the paddles on the same quad. A lot also depends on what kind of ridding you are doing. A hillshooter, dragracer, cruiser and mom all have a tire that works best for them.
As for being objective, yes, everyone has their own riding style, but with the number of people on here, it should be a pretty random sample, and hopefully the numbers will average out. When it's all done, I'll stick it all in a spreadsheet and post the results.
This may seem a little ****, which I suppose it is, but I think it will be a lot more informative and objective than the previous "my tire is better than yours" threads.

hey 97redbanshee,
Thanks for the info. I want to get a set-up almost exactly like yours. I like the lack of use of a spacer plate. Makes it stealth (stroker) and less chance for an air leak. I plan on doing this in about 6 months or less. I will give Bill a call as soon as i am ready. I could use those dyno numbers since i am in the same neighborhood at 245 Lbs. Thanks man.

I hit Glamis this weekend with my new Sand stars compared to V-paddle trakkers.
Brand/Model: sand star
Weight: <In pounds (lighter than the trakker)>
# paddles: <8>
Paddle Height: <20-11-10>
Longevity: <Don't know yet>
Turning ability: <3>
Powerslide Abilty: <2>
Straight line accelleration: <4>
I was not able to roost people with power slides like I was with the trakkers but it hooked up like crazy, front wheels where off the ground the hole way up olds. Greatly improved drag racing abilty!
Brand/Model: <The Trakker>
# paddles: <8>
Paddle Height: <20-12-10>
Longevity: <4>
Turning ability: <5>
Powerslide Abilty: <5>
Straight line accelleration: <3>
Great for messing around in the dunes but I'm glad I made the switch, The sand stars through huge roost and hookup just like a hualer.
