Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!
Going to get sand tires for the R450 soon. Haulers or Extremes, 8 or 9 paddle. I know what I like for the Z, but have never really gotten a good explanation of the best way to choose the number of paddles for the type of riding I want. Soooo opinions and suggestions would be appreciated. And I haven't ridden regular Haulers. Anyone had the opportunity to ride both Haulers and Extremes and can tell me if there's a big difference? I know the Extremes are a stiffer paddle. Does that generally translate to more hook up or more float?
Stock rear dirt tires for the R450 are 18x10x8. I already have extra rims so I am thinking Hauler 20x10x8(8 paddles) and drop a tooth on the front sprocket. The goal is to maintain good hookup for the treeshots and hill climbs at Florence type dunes in dry summer sand so I am not stuck at the bottom of the treeshot or digging holes half way out. 20x11x8 means it's wider? I really like the gearing it has as stock, so dropping a tooth in front should compensate for the bigger rear paddle tire, right? THANKS for the input.

Chuck told me last night that he's working with the DNR Saturday, along with others on the trails, should be finished up by 1:00PM. Not a good day to work the trails, a beautiful spring weekend, they'll be a boatload of riders out there.
