hey, i allready reseached this topic but all i get is 50+ HP raptors lol. i dont know how much HP i have but im a nose ahead of 2 T-5 Piped banshees soo yea. I need some good Durable sand tires. i want some nice ones to use in the sand pits by me (soft sand) I since i will be doing alot of turning im figuring going with a V blade 8 paddle. also, i have a 12 tooth so i will put on the 12 tooth and should i either get: 20X12X8 Kenda Trakker's or 20X11X8 GBC Sand Sharks? i need a durable tire that can take some packed sand too, but need a tire that wll be good for climbing and playing. which tire is better? I know all the dune guys can help me with this one so please help me out!

 

Sand Skate IIs

 

i would love to get those, but im pressed on cash so i cant afford 200$ on tires.. did that with my holeshots, thats why im asking between the Sand Stars and Trakker's.. also, the trakkers are 12" wide.. is that better or worse vs. the 11"? Thanks for the suggestion sixsixt

 

well on sand traction isnt everything its floatation. if you can float on the sand you dont need much traction. so yes the 12's would be better than the 11's. you dont see mnany narrow tall paddles do you


hope thie helps

 

You probably wont get many of people to agree with me, but i bought the geckos and i was pleased with them.

They were somewhat cheap and they worked well for me, i was wheelying all day long with them.

My only complaint was that they almost hooked up too good when i was trying to roost on hill it was hard for the bike to spin around, the tires wanted to bite and just go styraight, not turn.

My opinion only though, do what you want to.

 

thanks for the suggestion, someone i was riding with also has those and was telling me they were the way to go, and that they also hook up good and can take some light trail riding.. thanks!

 

I have had the Gecko's, Sand Sharks, and ITP sand Star's. I really didn't care for the Gecko's they didn't seem to have enough tracktion to me. I still have both the Sand Star's that are on my 660 and they are great. I also have the Sand Shark's on my 350 and they are also great. For the money you really can't go wrong with the Sand Sharks I think they are around $110 - $ 120 at rockymountainatv.com
