Puget Sound/Seattle/Northwest Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

As a 700R owner for 20 months and running both Haulers and Sandstars for the past year, here's my opinion:
Haulers will give you an advantage in drag racing if all other factors are equal.
Sandstars will carve easier and sometimes will break the rear loose too much with too much throttle.
Sandstars will hookup like crazy (just watch up comming video from Jayna).
I had no problem with any treeshot, launch pad (except for the one) or hillclimb at Florence, Winchester or Coos Bay.
Sandstars climbed Banshee Hill II, (the new route to the left of original route) flawlessly.
Haulers, especially 22's, will throw a ton more roost than Sandstars, be careful who you ride behind.
This past week, I started out with 20" Sandstars, switched to 22" Haulers then switched back to 20" Sandstars, I just had more fun on them, I had to work the Haulers more to get them to do what I wanted. On the beach trail at Florence I would two wheel more with the Haulers (just ask Rod) and could hang closer to Jayna with the Sandstars.
Haulers are great tires, everybody uses them.
Sandstars are great tires also for a general dune play tire.
I'll go down any treeshot with my Sandstars that you'll go down with your Haulers, (just don't let Val know) Banshees excluded [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I had the 700 in a hole at Sandlake. It had the sandstars on it. I started to get worried, didn't think it was gonna make it out. I put on the haulers and presto, hill climbing fool. It seemed easier to ride wide open and to carve, with the haulers.

I can't argue with that, I just didn't want to offend anyone that thought sandstars were the chit [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I am here to say Sandstars SUCK on a 700. Get 21 or 22 inch haulers with 8 paddles. They will do the best.

It depends what you like to do.. The sandstars get an insaine amount of hookup but not so good for dragging.
Originally posted by: Josh14Alright folks, I need some opinions on sand tires for the 700R. What do you all recommend? I'm looking for the best all around use not just straight drags. Thanks... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Deciding what type and size of tire to get is driving me crazy. I'm just going to have to buy something and see if I like it.

I can't believe anybody needed proof[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]. You should put a crf450 motor in there. Or a brp 800 v-twin. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] might need a can of axle grease and a shoe horn though.
