Default Raptor paddles

I have a 03 Raptor with a GYTR exhaust and K&N and Razor back front tires. The rear has 3in spacers and the front has 1 in spacers. I ride at St. Anthony's in Idaho and the Oregon coast dunes mostly. What type of tire is best suited for good hook ups up hills but good for playing around in also? Anyone who knows St. Anthony's know that there are lava rocks here and there so is a vulcanized tire going to get torn up? I've heard a few different things and I just want to clear them up....

1. I heard that how much you weigh makes a difference as far as V or straight, but that sounds bogus.
2. With the Razor Backs up front, will turns and sliding be easier if at all existent.

Thanks for any help.

If you want an all around paddle, bet the V shaped.

If you want max hook up, get straight cutters. These normally dont slide well and wheely alot. The exception to this rule is with a longer swingarm.

I would say that running any sand tire over rock is not good. Thats not what they were designed for.

Im sure I dont know what the best tires are.

Im a Skat Trak fan(I run Haulers). If I wanted V paddles, id get the Skat Trak Edges.

Can't really go wrong with sand stars. Everyone in my riding group has them and they work great
