Default Best Sand Tire?

I'm about to purchase a set. I'm looking for opinions on which to get. I like the look of the Geckos but have NO experience with any of them. Help.

IMO you can't beat Extreme Haulers for traction in the sand.
I run 8 paddle 22x11x10 & with the Mohawks on front they turn well.

Geckos are not for high powered quads!!

All depends on your style of riding.

I have just bought the Kenda Klaws front and rear.
I was looking at ITP's, Razr's, Klaws

After reading some articles and seeing the great reports, I went for the Klaws.

For me they are the best all round sand tyre......reasons being :

They are awesome on the track, low profile, and hook up very well. (not as good as ITP but damn close)
At the same time they are also awesome for trail riding. (better than Razr/ITP)
Dune riding is also top notch. They have V shaped paddel pattern, and you just need to turn them.

They may not be the best for each environment, but excell at all.
IMO, you cannot get a better all purpose all round sand tyre. I expect these tyres will start to sell very well.

My 99 cents

I wouldn't get Gecko's, they are ok for a cheaper tire, but I would go for haulers, or edges or sand skate II's.

I run haulers 21x12x8 8 paddles and if you are looking for something to put you on the top that is your tire.....I have a bone stock shee so you might want to go with 10 paddles.
