You guy's want looks or do you want a tire that acutally performs? If you want a good sand tire then it's Skat-Trak all the way...All those other tires are to heavy...More rotating mass = you going slower....

 

I know he is on a 300ex so dont jump all over me guys....But you should look into the extreme haulers.....There kinda high...But i will not run anything besides haulers....There very light...and they hook up awesome.....your 300ex will not have any trouble turning them....

I LIKE THE SAND STARS BETTER

 

I agree sand stars are real heavy and do not have much flex to them at all.

 

No one in my atv group runs anything but Skat Trac haulers 8 paddle on douglas 125 blue dot rims. Get that if you are serious about dune riding.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

 

For the 300ex you don't want too much hookup. The Sandstars are really too much even for a Z400 in stock form (you have to be in 2nd gear up any kind of hill). I was a little disappointed when I put them on my stock Z400. I geared it down a tooth on the front sprocket which helped, but I wasn't really satisfied until I put the pipe on. I have two raptors, one with sand sharks, the other with sand stars and there doesn't seem to be much of a difference. I just picked up a set of used (practically new) seven paddle skat traks for $100 but I haven't tried them yet. I'm anxious to see how they compare. If you are going to do any jumping I'd go with an 8 inch .160 rim. The bigger the rim diameter, the less tire which will affect the ride (less tire to flex = more bumpy and harsher landings). The lighter you can go for tire/rim for your riding style the better it will do.

To sum up, gear the front sprocket down a tooth (only about $10), look on www.rockymountainatv.com and there is a Skat Trak Glider specifically designed for 350cc and less four strokes, you can get a package for $181.99 (includes 2 6 paddle 20x10x8 on .125 douglass rims) or for about $10 more you can get the .160 rims. The Sand star package is only $2 cheaper. I would definately go with the Gliders. If you are going to ride the dunes much, I'd either get a 400cc machine or bigger or at least put on a full pipe, remove your airbox lid, and rejet (rejetting is a must with full pipe)

 

I totally agree with yoshz.

I think you will regret getting a sand tire with too much bite/weight on a quad that does not have the power to break them loose.

The Glider is like the hauler but has less weight, the paddles are a little shorter and comes with 6 paddles.

If you still want a V style tire the Skat-Trak edge is also a good choice and can be purchased in a 6 paddle design for smaller engines.
