Do not get the 20'S. I have two V's both with Sand stars on them. the best tire and wheel for the V is the hauler 24" with the duglas 11" wide rims. But that will cost you one arm. I have a set of each standard rim with and the 11" on my sand stars. The stardard gets more bite and makes for the front end to come up a lot. I haven't riding the 11's that much yet but they seem to be better and don't digs holes in the sand. You will have to use the starting fluid trick to mount the tire on that rim though. Make sure you get aleast the 22" paddles

If you get the 24" Skats with the 11" rims, be sure to get some 2.5" spacers for the rear. The big Skat Traks hook up real well, but they make turning difficult. By spreading out the rear wheels, initiating a power slide becomes easier. This will greaty improve turning and sliding.

so basically I want the largest #s for example 22x11x12? or 22x11x10? I know I would need to get bigger rims with the 12s

anyone know what the weight is on rims and tires on the sand stars?

22x11x10 (for example)=== 22 is the diameter of the tire, 11 is the width of the tire, and 10 is the size wheel you have. So a short fat tire is 20x12x10

A taller tire gives more float for the heavy V-Force. Skat Trak makes a 24" Extreme that works very well for the V-Force. In fact, it was made specifically for this quad. I bought my set through these folks. They had the package to my door in 3 days.

I have the 22" Sand Stars. They do very well in the dunes. I do not worry so much when crossing more rocky areas, as they are a durable tire.

I also went for the 22inch sand stars, for as much as I use them, they work great.

I bought mine at actionoffroad.com in utah, a friend bought them at paddletires.com or something like that for about 10 bucks less for the package. Do you ever go up to Walden?
