Default ? for you sand guys!

I was going to change my tires, and I think that I may try the "taller haulers" Are these decent tires? I am going to be dragging in VERY lose dirt with some sand mixed in.

I am looking for something to get MAX traction! How big of a difference will say 10paddles vs 12 paddles make?

Any input will be appreciated. I have ZERO experience with paddle tires.
I live in WV and there ain't much sand in these here hills! LOL

Taller Haulers are a awesome choice for drag tires,if you have enough *** to spin them.I wouldn't
get them if you are just slightly moded...They will slow you down.They also hook like no other,so be carefull on the hole shoot,or you will be looking at the sky!

Thanks for the info. I don't think turning them over will be a problem. I can't get a tire that I've tried do more than spin! LOL

I seen those and they LOOK tough. Do you know about the difference between like 10 and twelve paddle? Is there a big difference?

Taller haulers weigh to much. Go with regular haulers.
My buddy got thee on a pipe 400ex for some reason. They dug so much the lug bolts started to stretch the wheel holes where they went throuh. He had to buy new wheels and tires.

I run 21x12x8 10 paddle extreme haulers and love em! most guys run 9 paddle on rappys......even well modded raptors....so if your not putting out at least 65-75 hp i wouldnt even think of trying to turn any more than 10 paddle! the only time you need more than ten is if your turning some serious horse power!

For max traction with your power for drag racing I would get 9 paddle Tripple buff haulers 22 or 23x11x8 easy choise...

I agree but get extreme haulers and the amount of paddles would depend on how long the track is and the type of sand, longer track = less paddles, heavy course sand = less paddles.
