I have had two different sets of Sand Sharks and am now using Geckos on my Raptor. I did not like the Sand Sharks and am very happy with the Geckos.

sand sharks have less paddle so they don't hook up as well but they are fun to slip and slide around with.

Sand Sharks are nice, but I would still say to wait t month or two and get haulers. I prefer 10" rim for looks, but you can bend rims easier with the 10's.

Thanks sand neck but the wife said her or haulers ..lol ... So I am left with sand sharks or the geckos .

OK guys here we go with one last question then I will drop this and buy .

If you were at the dunes and had no tires cause the ones you brought blew up or something and one of your buds had geckos and the other
had sharks and everone was heading to comp hill for a few drags then a quick cruise before dinner , which would you choose ????

Sand Sharks, not a big fan of Geckos. One thing I have noticed alot with my buddies ride that has them, is the lug nuts come loose alot. I think the tires vibrate alot more than any other tire.

I've used Sand Sharks, Sand Devils, and Haulers. I prefer the Haulers. They are just as easy to turn with as the Sand Sharks. They hook up better in a striaght line. And they float better. If you stop mid hill with the Sharks or Devils, they just dig holes when you try to leave. Whereas the Haulers just shoot you up to the top.

Getting the Sharks , it was a toss up between the geckos cause they are the exact same price but I figured (with some help) any paddle will make a difference and since one of the guys I ride with has geckos and I will have sharks , I will trade off and see which I like best and I will know which would be better for my riding style .

Thanks for all the help
