Default Which Sand Tires for Raptor ????

do you jump?how far/high?
I dont spend that much time in the air maybe 4 feet high at times ..I would like to know that I can hammer it if I want...maybe I should go for the 1.90's

How about 20x10x10 10 paddle Skat Trak edge's on ITP .190s?

I am new at this (paddles) so thanks for any help.

The only paddles I have ever tried are sand sharks (8")

I guess they worked ok but I did not like the way it handled in the turns--it slid and grabbed, slid and grabbed. It really jerked you around. Maybe paddles are just like that in the turns I don't know.

If you jump or pound through whoops I wouldn't get a ten inch wheel. Not much sidewall to absorb the impact..

Pro wedges are NOT a sand tire.

I switched from a sand shark to a 20x10x10x10 hauler a few weeks ago. I haven't had a chance to try them out yet though.

If you jump much at all get a .190. I destroyed my .125 on less than 7feet of air. A smaller rim will help out from the rims bending too, like Sand God said, I just like the looks of a ten " better.

Dude, I hear ya, there not sand tires but from what I see they kick *** in the sand. I live just south from you in Slidell, LA. Me and my crew are Allways at LA Dunes. I know you have had to make it out there once or twice. Most of the H.P. quads. are running them. Actually, they are SNOW tires. But they hook............. hard! Thinking about putting them on the Rap. In two weeks we are going to be at Rattle Snake in Hatt's. Hows your Rap run ??

RattleSnake Bay is cool. Maybe I'll meet you there.

I have NEVER seen Pro Wedges at LA Dunes. I guess they would work there because the sand is SO hard and coarse.

The Rappy isn't running, waiting on a gasket, but it should be this weekend.
