Default Tires......more paddles or less paddles = faster??

A good place to start would be a 20x10x10 8 paddle hauler on an 8" wide douglas blue label .125 wheel. This will be a nice light do-all tire for your pred. A cheap set of front sand tires are worth the money as well, but if you only get to the sand rarely then I wouldn't spend the cash.

never mind, I see you have some fronts. If those are 22" fronts go with 22" rears...

I paid just over 300 for a set of 20" extremes on blue labels. Of course this was at an atv shop at the dunes and it was a while back when the extremes came out.

more depends on your bike really. I can make a set of my 8 paddles hook up my 90 horse 250r. I can run identical 60' times when comparing it to my 10 paddles. A lot just depends on surface and what your motor likes.

Thanks beech......I kinda agree........the only problem that I could find, is they take a lot of power to run(but I could gear down and fix that)........also when the sand is wet(i think.....don't remember which it is) it is really hard to pull due to the weight of the sand........

For a pred you could run 22x11x8 7 paddles for pipe and filtered. More paddle = faster acceleration, but less paddle faster up the hill for some bike (4 strokes). Most 4strokes will run 7-8 paddle, I run 21x12x8 6paddle hauler for my yfz and it hauls, most drag 4 strokes (ex,zukis etc..) run 7 paddle UL.
