I own a Raptor. Which would better the Haulers or the Sand Skates. I like to climb!!

Thanks!!!

 

to climb go with the haulers. I have STU Pada Brats with a stagger cut (18 paddles with 40% cut off one side then the other side) they give my DS too much bite on take off but will climb any thing I point it at.

 

I run Sand Devil 20x11x8. The cup isn't as deep as on a hauler. The paddle isn't welded on like the haulers. Haulers will chunk out after awhile. The Sand Devils hold up much better and are about 40 bucks cheaper for a complete set of wheels and tires then the haulers. Get them at Rockymountain atv. Nobody sells for less.

 

I think you'd be happy with either one, they're both quality sand tires. Straights typically climb better than V's, but the SK II are such a big paddle, they hook up like straights. The advantage that Skat Trak's have is that they are shaved tires and are extremely light weight. They won't bog your motor down like heavier tires do. The STU's are also lighter than the copies, and if you've got deep pockets, STU will groove them to make them even better. GO with the 10 inch, they look better and have less roll in turns. Also, the 8-inch Skat-Trak's have a round profile giving a larger diameter.
