Default FRONT TIRE Sand Stars - Comments?


I've always ran a Dune Tracker style front sand tire, with a single continous rib around the buff smooth tire.

I'm needing another set of fronts, and am looking at the Sand Stars with their twin ribs.

While I'm sure it helps both front tires to cut and grip during a corner, doesn't the inside tire also throw sand up and towards your engine/frame/boots area?

Just wondering how people are liking these twin ribbed (for your pleasure) tires, compared to the standard single rib. Do they push more, or cut harder?

They'll be going on a Predator running either Skate II's or Hauler rears, I've got both sets of rears...

thanks.

I've heard that razorbacks are the lightest solid rib front tire, is this true? I picked up some sandstar fronts and they seemed kinda heavy, but I wasn't sure if that was because of the rim.

The STU Razor backs are still the best IMO.
I have tried the sabd star fronts and they do work great. Turn great etc etc. I didn't notice sand being kicked up any more than any other tire.

STU's are American made(sand stars are china) , better rubber, and lighter.
