i've asked before but would paddle tires be the way to go. Would they be much better than a tire like realtors. I know i can turn a sand tire such as an edge or hauler. Would they work much better than my bandits. Also with bandit front there like a flat tire with a large amount of tread. will that sloww me down much.

Again, I don't mean to bash your machine, but a Recon is a 229cc 4-stroke utility quad right? To be totally honest, you're better off with your knobby tires. Air the rears down to 2-3 psi and they should work just fine. You can buy paddles if it makes you feel better, but go with big wide ones with small paddles (Dune Sliders). Anything else will just bog down your motor. I had a Trail Boss 325 (13.5 HP), it could go places with the Titan 489s that it couldn't with paddles. I know I tried. If sand dunes are your thing, save your money for a more powerful machine.
