Default Buying some Sand Tires.....

I need to know what size to get. I have a YFZ450 and a Raptor 350. Im going with the Skat Trak Haulers but Im not sure what size to get. Also what is a good front tire to match up with the Skat Traks? Size and brand? And finally where is a good place to buy them online? Thanks!!

So should I get 20x10x9 8 paddles for the 450? And for the 350 should I get the same for the 350? What about 7 paddle tires are the any good or should I stick with the 8 paddles?

Whats the difference between .125, .160, and .190 with the rims? I assume the larger the number the better the rim since the price is more. But is there any real difference? Thanks!

Its just the thickness (strength) of the rims. Its a tradeoff- heavier and stronger or lighter and weaker. I think for an all around duner the .160 are a happy medium, and its only like 5 bucks more.

Like sandman said rocky mountain is a good place to buy. The extreme haulers have bit stronger blade.

you might want a v paddle for the 350 let the motor rev a bit, but the 8 would work then you would have a extra set for your 450[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Douglas rims and itp rims are going to be about equal in quality as long as your comparing the matching models. Im not sure on the sizes your going to need for the 450, you can order the parts for rocky mountain atv. They should have a set that includes tire and wheel. Its going to be like the itp t9 rims with itp sand stars.

What about the size of tire and rims? Should I try to match the stock sizes? Thanks!
