Default Paddles?

Just wondering what kind of haulers would be best for my banshee? All the mods I have are listed below. Would the 20x10x10 8 paddles work or the 22x11x10 8 paddles? Just want to know what haulers are best at picking up great speed and traction with all my mods?

I'd go with the 8 paddle 22x11x10 in the Extreme Haulers.

The taller the tire the better the hookup right?

The taller tire changes your final drive ratio.
Since there is a lot of tire spinning going on in the sand the taller tire spins a little less & so it does help with hook up.
Going taller than you need or using too many paddles will cause you too much hook & cause bogging or suck up a lot of power on top.

Go 22x11x10 with 10 paddles. You will regret getting 8. I had the same mods as you...actually a little less and 10 paddles were almost not enough, i still spun the hell out of them.

10 paddles do hook up better - we have similar mods - but I find that the 8 paddles don't drag me down as much on top. I have a set of 10 paddle haulers and I prefer the 8 paddles. If you ride where you can really open it up into 5th or 6th you will see the difference in drag.

Thats true!
I tried a set of 10 paddle tires & they hooked up good but they really drag you down on the top end.
I lost a couple of hundredths of a second in my 60 ft times with the 8 paddles but gained a couple of tenths in 100 yards cause it could rev out better.

Unless you go big bore or a radical port job stick with the 8 paddles. JMO

More than likely I am going to go with the 8 paddles but im still not so sure on the size of tire, if I get a 10 in tire and the stock size is 9, will I have to have differant hubs for the back axle?

No you won't need a diffrent hub but you will need 10" wheels.
