Which Sand Tires for Raptor ????
#1
Just wanted some opinions on Sand Tires for my Raptor.
I ride mostly at the Silver Lake Dunes, and do some drag racing, hill climbing and love to kick the back end out in the sand. Which tires would be best for this type of application. I've been looking at the Kenda Geckos.
Any opinions would be appreciated

ALright MOOSE - I'm going to disagree with you on the "V" paddles a little. If you go with an 8 paddle, it may have too much spin ~ BUT ~ if you go with the Skat Trak Edges in the 10 paddle (like I have), you will be wanting more tire spin. With the 10 paddles they hook up extremely well, almost too well for a stock motor with stock gearing. I raced a modified Banshee with them and he was running 9 paddle Haulers, and we were back and forth on who would take the race! They hook up very very well for a "V" paddle in straight line tracation!!!
I like them alot due to being able to slide the rear end when you like. If you want an all around good sand tire with good managability and traction, I recommend the Edges!!

I agree with most, the haulers are the ticket, however they may not slide very well at all. I have an 01' with pipe and alcohol, and ran a friends 10 paddle haulers. can't even compare to the geckos at all, with the geckos it spins all day, with the haulers you have to short shift 1st and 2nd to keep the front end down. Have not tried the v paddles so I don't know about those. Good luck...............
