Hey Guys,

I have a 2003 Cannibal and am looking to get some paddles for it. I had some haulers on my ol' 400EX. What tire and Tire size do you all recommend? Cannondale told me 20x11x10, unfortunately, Skat Trak doesn't make a hauler in this exact size. Also, how many paddles per tire do you recommend?

Thanks...

my speed runs well with the chen shin dune hoppers 22x11x8 8 paddles, I talked to alot of people that said the 10 paddles just bog the top end to much.

I have a 2003 speed with 20-10-10 with 10 haulers and it works great.

I just got Skat-Trak's new Xtreme Hauler. They recommended 20-10-10 8 paddle. Aparently the Xtreme has the same size paddle as the regular Hauler but it is a little thicker so it doesn't deflect quite as much on a "heavy, high torque 4 stroke". Whatever! All I know so far is they look fawkin sweet sitting in my garage! Looking at them, I can see what they are talking about. They look just like my friends Haulers but the blades are a little stiffer. I'll give you an update as soon as I get a chance to take them to Pismo!

My father-in-law runs the Skat-Trak Extremes on his Banshee. They're awesome. Like CRAWLR said they are similar to the Haulers but are a taller and more cupped paddle. You can't hardly ride behind a set of Extremes just going straight ahead because they throw so much sand behind them. A little on the spendy side but a great sand tire.

Got a chance to take the Speed to Pismo and try the Extremes. Holy crap those things hook up! Almost too well. 20-10-10 is a good size but the scoop on the Extreme is pretty agressive. Once I got used to it and figured out how to launch without almost going over backwards I really liked them. If you're looking for something that pulls hard in a straight line and throws a nice roostertail go for the Extreme. I think for just playing around the regular Hauler would be better.

Btolenti, a friend of mine just bought a pair of 10'' eight paddle Hauler Extremes and she wants to sell them because they grab too much on her 400ex. She only has two rides on them and they're in mint condition. I'll ask her tomorrow how much she wants for them. Might save you some money if you're interested.

btolenti, I spoke with her today and she sold them over the weekend. She got $130 for the pair. Sorry, I was a little late. Rocky Mountain ATV is the best place to buy tires though.
