Default Front sand tires!

Okay I need your input. What is the best all around, best turning, best size and lightest? I'm talking dune riding hill shooting and flat drags all in sand.

Dune trackers
Mohawks
Sand Stars
Shark Fin
Smooth Buff

I have 21" 8 paddle extreme haulers on the rear and this is for my raptor.

I had a set of dune trackers. I rode a set of sand stars and immediately traded in my trackers for a new set of stars. The turning ability is great and they have much less bump steer than my trackers did. Get the stars, you will be glad you did.

You will find that running mohawks works fine with v rears. However, a high horsepower machine running straights will push through mohawks (broken ridges) and slicks without hooking, killing your turning ability.

hey, how dose the skat-trak smooth buff compare to the mohawk? Dose the mohawk turn that much better, and how about the weight of the two? Are they about the same?
