Default Paddle Tires For The Z??


I'm looking to buy some paddle ties for my stock Z400.

Should I stay with the factory 9" size or does it make a difference to go with a bigger size?

What tire do you recomend for the Z?

Thanks for any help, the Zman

My buddy just got a set of 20x11x9 Sand Stars and they worked pretty good on his stock Z. Climbed fine and slid well.

If its stock just get some sand sharks, they work just fine. I go to the dunes every weekend during season and I have no complaints at all about my sharks.

I'm in the same boat here.

I've got $200 to use to get paddles and tires but no one will answer my questions in the duners forum.

***I'm just wondering if it affects the performance of the bike (speed wise) as to the heighth or design of the paddles.***

I ran paddle masters at Winchester Bay, OR and they did just fine in the hill climb catagory but was kind of hard to throw the rear end around due to the extra weight.

I'm pretty much leaning towards Sandstars but I'm open to suggestions. Don't want to take the chance of buying a rotten egg and then having to suffer with it.

I got 20x11x9 Sand Stars on my stock z400. I have had them for about a year. They work really well. I have tried Sand Sharks and the Stars pull up hills a little better. Hope this helps.
