Default skat trak sand tires

I am looking at the extreme haullers and was curious if they are really worth the extra money. I cheapest i've found so far is close to 300 dollars.

with the engine you have in your raptor i would definately suggest the extremes. They are made thicker and sturdier than the normal haulers, specifically for high performance bikes. from the looks of your sig, your 686 would go through the normal haulers faster, and even maybe throw a paddle or two.

i saw a test report on here from another thread and it showed the sand skate 2's and a tire from itp do as well as the skat traks if not better in a drag race up a hill. This makes me wonder if ther really worth the money.

the extremes perform very similar to the haulers, maybe a tad better. Their main purpose is durability for high hp bikes. You can do a survey on the forum, skat trak will turn up as the most prefferred manufacturer of sand tires. There are other brands that can come close to the performance of the haulers, but no other similar sand tire can match the performance AND durability of the extremes.

You will want to run the extremes over the haulers due to the weight and horsepower of your bike. The Extremes are 1/8" thicker than the Hauler. Go to Rocky Mountain ATV at the following http://www.rockymountainatv.com/ and you can get tires and wheels around $275.00 with free shipping...

i have a setm of sand skate 2's and a set of haulers 4 my kfx. cant compare, you'll spin the the skates alot worse then extremes. v paddles are for playing and slideing. i'd go with a 22-10-8 8 paddle extreme. i probably wouldnt go 10 paddle. extremes dont flex like haulers and may bog u from the start

extremes haulers is what i ran on my 686 and they worked really well..but they were not enough tire for my banshee..so i went and got some 9 paddle dubble buffs..They work good..but i think i should have went with a 10 paddle tripple...but after i get the build done this time..ill see how the 9 paddles work..
