Default Paddle Tires for Raptor

I am getting paddles for my raptor, I have heard a couple different opinion's 20x10x10 9 blade haulers: 20X10X10 10 paddle Edges: and 21X10X10 9 blade haulers. What are your guy's opinions. I like to mostly hill climb with a little bit of drag racing and trails!

if you want the best go with the skat trak extreme haulers. probably 20x10x10. 8 or 9 paddles stock, 10 paddles for a pipe. if you have some sizeable mods, go with 22" and 10 or 12 paddles. i have a stock 03 with 20-10-10 and 10 paddles. i dropped a tooth on my front sprocket to 12 and i am very happy. wiping the floor with piped banshees on 250yd hills.

IMO the best sand tire for the Raptor is Skat Trak 8 paddle Extreme Haulers in 22 x 11 x 10.
If your going to ride dunes with any size to them the Extremes will be the best choice.
No they don't turn like angled paddles & yes you'll need a front sand tire like mohawks to help with the turning, but if you have a wider than stock width the turning gets easier (I have 3" wheel spacers on the rear & it made a big diffrence).


I run the 8 paddle 22" Extremes with my piped & Jetted 02 Raptor & I can pull them great.
10 paddles will suck a lot of power on the top end in the higher gears, I tried 10 paddles & they launched & hooked great but I could tell they were a bit much for higher gears.
The 20's will reduce ground clearance & tend to dig holes more than 22's.
