Default Paddle Tires

are you sure? 8 paddles seems like something for a completely stock bike. i just need some consistency in the replies so i can figure out what would be best.

Default Paddle Tires

I ride the dunes about 35 to 40 weekends a year so i get to see how things work on the sand so here is my opinion.The edges are a good all around tire but they will not accelerate as fast especially in soft sand as a regular hauler.The straight paddle hauler will slide fairly well if you use enough power to get them spinning and if you drag race at all you will do better with the hauler.As far as the number of paddles you would probably be better off for a good combination of acceleration and speed with 8 paddles on both the banshee and the raptor.
