Off the top of my head I can't remember. I'll look tomorrow and post back. I bought them used they were like brand new. Every time we go out all my buddies want to swap tires so they can try them on their machines. That's the trouble I have, all Yamaha's, all the same bolt pattern.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Don't get me wrong here I'm not saying they are the best, I got a good deal and for what I use them for they are great![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

They are 20 x 11 x 8 and the rims look like 125. Ya I know what you are thinking, why 8". Well that's what you get buying used over the internet. I can't complain, I got 1 front rim (new never used)and 2 back rims and 2 paddle tires for $125 plus shipping. So I thought for that price what the he!!. The tires were almost new and for what I need them for they're great. If you go to my pictures near the bottom there is a shot of a hill that nobody could climb with nobbies. Put on the sand skate II's and walked up it like it was flat ground, even a stock Warrior had no problem with the hill and these tires.

Thanks for the input Radman!

I'm still unsure what I will get, but I have about a month to make up my mind.

On my raptor I run paddla brat 9 paddles that have been compition cut. What they do is shave the tire between the paddles down to the cords. This makes for a very light and fast sand tire. They do go flat after a couple days. I also have a set of ultra smooth buff or what ever scat-trak calls them. These tires are are basically innertubes with paddles glued on. They are the lightest paddles around. If your main interset is traction and speed, than definatly get the ultra buff paddles from scat-trak. Beware - ultra buffs are special order and are very evpensive. I payed 350 for 2 22-11-8 12 paddles on .125 wheels, and it took 3 months to get them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] But it was worth the wait[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
