It should not make any difference at all. With sc haulers(or any paddles) try not to store the bike with the paddles on the ground for long periods of time to prevent damage to the paddle touching the ground. Have fun in the dunes....please help us keep em open.

i've always heard it makes a little difference if they r lined up. it should pull a little straighter with em lined up. if u really want them to be just leave a tire on one side and pull the hub off then line them up the best u can on the splines. but i know with my banshee they will never stay lined up because with that kind of hp's they spin on the rim

It doesn't matter if they're lined up. When you leave the line they're spinning like crazy. A difference in air pressure will make the quad pull to one side. When you're running 3 PSI, if the sun hits one tire more than the other, the pressure will be different. Also as the outside air temperature increases during the day, your tire pressure will increase. For maximum performance check the pressure throughout the day. You'll find that you need to let air out in the afternoon and air up again in the morning.
