Sounds like a nice ride, but those rear tires have got to go.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

BillDS650;

I'm not saying they don't work, I just don't like the looks of them.
They look too fat and big for me.

I prefer the Haulers, or Sand Devils. Lower profile.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Looks don't make you faster or float better in the soft stuff.
I agree the low profiles look better but are slower than a taller tire.

I agree Mike, but I Have no problem getting the Haulers, or Dirt Devils to float. They work great for me AND I like the looks of them better.

By the way, how did they come about choosing those tires for the 330R??

The other brands seem a lot more common.

Oh yeah, how much H.P. is that thing kicking out at the rear wheels?
I skimmed the article, but did not see it mentioned anywhere.

I have actually been following the article for close to a year now.

The 22&quot; haulers work great but are not the best for turning.

We wanted a tire that would turn better. We like to drag at the hill some, but much more prefer a fast dune ride. Nothing like it in teh world!

A little less than 60hp. There is a dyno chart (I think) in the motor article.

That has got to be one of the best looking quads I have ever seen. Very nice job. I bet it turns some heads. Do the aluminum rezzy clamps fit all rezzy? I tought that was a nice touch.

I would like to try some tires like that. I have had a couple people recomend them to me. They did this when I said that I had faster runs with my stock tires over my paddles. It seems like my paddles hook too well for me.

BillDS650 I just went to your site, thats a good looking DS.
