I need a good paddle tire and having a hard time deciding. I saw a thread on here of a test report and it showed that the sand skates and itp sand tire did as well as the skat traks in drag racing. where i ride is sometime very rocky and i dont think the paddles on the skat trak would last but i would like everyone ideas.

 

yes, I think I posted that paddle tire shoot out a long time ago. and yes the sand skate 2's performed just as well as the haulers on a banshee at olds hill. I had sand skate 2's and now i have the sand stars from itp and like them better. they turn well, hook up well, and trow a tone of sand that the riders behind you will be pissed about [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

I hear that the Sand Stars are a awesome tire.

 

The Skat track hauler extremes use a reinforced paddle, or so they say. I have a 9 paddle set on my 686 and it gives awesome hill climbing and acceleration. You'd almost have to run with a ribbed front tire though as it doesnt turn worth beans on my stock rubber. The cheap dune trackers turn nicely.

 

imo, i dont think the sand skate 2 perform as well as the hauler!
i used to run sand skates 2 which were 21x12x10 and switched to Extreme Haulers which are 21x12x8 10 paddle and picked up 4 quad lengths in 300ft drag!
