At St. Anthony, I know a guy that uses Turbo Paddles on his Cannibal and loves them. He had Geckos first, and hated them.

Thanks!, Isn't St. Anthonys notorious for really soft sand? If they work well there, then they are probably a decent tire!

A guy that is in our riding group runns them on his 416 EX and you can feel the difference in the hookup. He used to have a set of Sand Devils with 8 paddles and the turbos are way better, just my 2 cents

I traded my Sand Sharks for the Turbo Paddles last weekend. It was a night and day difference! The Turbo's made my 400ex stand up and go. I would recommend them as a cost effective kind of paddle. I run 18-Paddle Padla Brats from Sand Tires Unlimited on my Lt500. Not cost effective, but definatly hook up the Zilla and throw mega sand.

those look strong, but I still think the paddle masters are stronger

I have bought the Geckos and am looking for a new tire for we are making the trip to Glamis and coming from Texas. If you get these King tires how will you handle in the dunes, i.e. when you are not drag racing?? Also what amount of pressure do ya'll use in your sand tires?
