Default Paddle Tire Question

I am going to my dealer this weekend to pick up some paddles for my banshee and also my dad's getting some for his raptor. I was thinking of either the (skat-trak) haulers or extreme's for my shee and edge's for the raptor. would these be good choices? how many paddles per tire should i get for each? which would be better for a stock shee? and what tire size would be best?

Dude, don't go to the dealer and buy tires. These Guys are in Oregon city, and have everything you need. The dealer marks stuff up to high.

I have the Edge's on my Raptor, and I like them. The Haulers will be nice on the Shee.

I've heard a lot of good things about Rockymountainatv.com, but its a bit of a hassle to order online, and im going to be at my dealer this saturday anyway to pick up my new helmet so theres no reason to go somewhere else. Plus, the prices on that site you mentioned are way too high, Kintama. I was really just curious about the tires themselves, which model would be best, number of paddles, and size.

Default Paddle Tire Question

I was thinking of 21-12-8's. i was wondering how they are for speed though. i know it will help my takeoff a lot, but will my top speed suffer from the bouncing of the paddles? (drag races) Would i be better off with extreme haulers or just regular haulers? I would probably get 9 paddle. I will probably get some pipes and a pro-flow airbox mod w/ filter soon, would that make a noticeable difference in the power delivery through paddles? if so, should i consider a 9 or 10 paddle instead of 8 or 9? Also, how many paddles would you reccommend for a rappy with the same mods? thx!

Rocky mountain might have better deals, but you also have to pay for shipping. If I am only gonna save a couple of bucks, it just isn't worth it. Plus, I can touch and feel it, and make sure it is right while I am there.

Kintama how many paddles do you have on your edges. I am able to buy some almost new edges for 150. The only thing is they are 10 paddle. Just wondering if the rappy can handle them.I'm not a serious hillershooter so I don't think the 10's will make a big difference. I hope.

My bike is stock, and I went with the 8 paddles. You have some mods, so I think the 10 would be okay. You will loose a little power, but I don't think it will be too much of an issue.IMO
