I've looked, but not sure what to get. So why not go to the experts, that's you guys. LOL
What brand, style, and size paddles would you all recommend for the LT80?

Thanks a Bunch.

I have been looking for some for my e-ton 90 as well. I have decided to go with the Kenda Gecko, it is a lightwieght tire and due to the paddle design should allow for easier turning.

 

Sorry forgot to add size. The Gecko would be in a 18x9x8 on aluminum wheels. The only other option would be the Skat-Trak Glider in18x8.5x8. Hope this helps

 

Any paddle tire is better than no paddles at all, hands down, but if you have the ability too, get the SkatTrak Gliders. I have both the Gliders and the Gekos on my kids quads and the Gliders are the superior tire. They are lighter and due to the fact that they are buffed they are more flexible. This allows you to run a little higher pressure and still have a larger conatact patch on the sand. Also the paddle runs almost the entire width of the tire which allows for more traction.

 

What quads do your kids have? Do they have any mods? I have a e-ton 90, new top end(stock) k&n filter, 2 1/2" extended swing arm and am looking for a pipe for it at the moment.

 

My kids ride an E-Ton Thunder 90 and an LT80. THe LT80 is stock with all of the restrictors removed. The E-Ton is piped and jetted with all of the restrictors removed.

 

I bought the 6 paddle gliders for my kids lt80 and man do they work well. I picked up a set of geckos for the 80 and boy were they heavy for such a little tire. We just got back from a ride on Friday and they didn't get stuck once. It climbed all but the biggest and steepest hills. My kids had a blast.

 

Well I finally bought the Sand Stars for the LT.
Spent 3 day in Florence, Or.

These did really good for my kids.
They were able to climb some pretty big hills on their stock LT (minus 2 front clutch rollers)

 

My kid has the Sand Stars as well. Climb great.

But I still HATE paddles. Rough riding suckers anywhere but soft sand. Just the small hard packed area by the truck had her griping.
