Scat haulers go with a 21x11x8 or a 22x11x8 sometime you will find a 22x12x8 or 21x12x8 . and put them on 8" wide wheels .
They will have a highround crown look to them instead of flat . this way when you get up on speed only the top will be cupping sand and you will run faster and climb faster . Run them at about 3.1/2 pounds of air pressure
Dont go with a 9" or 10 You lose side wall and then they run flatter and cause to much drag at top end
Go with a 8 or 9 paddle

I always ran 8 paddle Haulers on a 10" rim, and really liked them. I haven't used the Extremes, but they sound like they're the best out right now.

If you run a 10 paddle you might have pretty goood bottom end but once you get to your top end your not gonna run as great so I sujest that you go with the 8 paddle ultra bufs but those are a little more expensive .... if not those go with the 8 paddle extremes ... Austin
