Default Gecko Paddle

I was looking for some paddles and found a good deal on Kenda tires. Has anyone tried them?

Got the Kenda Gecko Paddle 21X11X10 K-534 With ITP rolled edge Aluminum rims and chrome valve stems. The pair was only $205.03 including shipping.

If you just want an all around sand tire the Geckos are fine. They aren't the best at any single thing (hill climbing or drags) but will serve well in the sand.
They are strong and a little heavy. They allow you to throw the quad sideways with ease.

How can you say that, there isn't any 2 sizes that match up? I have a set of gecko's, and the only place I think they work is in the snow. They are the last set of paddles thrown in the trailer, when the 4th quad is going for a spare.

Well take a little better look and see that the smaller sand star is heaver than the biggest Gecko. All I am saying is look at the facts. And I am not saying that I like the Gecko better than the sand star or any other tire, I have never even tried a paddle tire. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I put the gecko paddle on my wifes 350 raptor & I'd rather buy a new set than take them back to the dunes. Because there to balloony & I don't like the way hook up.
