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...

ok thanks..........any idea on what the prices are......there aren't any prices on the site.......need prices(or estimates) for the haulers and extremes too........I have the light weight rims(both front and back).........

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.
