Default Which size sand tire

Wyo, the guys over at planet sand think I should stick with an 8 paddle. They say a 10 will be over paddled even with more power.

I might just get some of the 8's and try them out, I can always put them on the other banshee and sell my other set or something.

Who knows, I will think it over some more.

Thanks for the repllies guys

seems the ten would be better than 8 coming out of the hole, and any hills you go up, i would say on flat drags they may slow you down but i've never noticed the difference on the two ds's between 9 paddle and ten paddle

Yeah, I have 20x10x10 9 paddle extreme haulers on both my ds and my other banshee and they seem to work great for the hills. I have not run a 22 yet, so I was not sure how many paddles for the taller tire.

I would think a 10 or 9 would work great. I dont flat drag, just hills and all around duning.

I guess once in a great while we race accross some flats, but not normally.

i run the standard hauler on both my ds's, the 20" tires work good for most things on them, but i got a new set of 22" 10 paddle, for mine and it has a piston and cams and it pulls those tires fine, the 9 might have been better but they didn't have them in stock so i went with them, anyway i know i don't have anywhere close to 70 horse so i think the 10 would be fine, well good luck. and if they don't work on the banshee put them on the ds and re gear to 15-43 and surprise some of you banshee buddies it works for us.

Ok, so what are you saying. I dont know what the rollout would be, do you?

I guess you are saying the 10 paddle would be better?

any more info then that would be great.

Thanks
Bat

Oh, and where to buy some would be great also. rocky mtn only sell the 22x11x8 in 7 or 8 paddle. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

My current set of paddles are 22x10x10 10 paddle. Im going to run a 21 inch tire with 9 paddles next time. The only reason I went with 22's initially is to get some ground clearance for Walden, Co. You need some clearance to climb out of some of those hills.

Anyhoo. Thats why I am going to do..

Roost, thanks for your input.

I am thinking about a 21x12x8 9 paddle now. I kind of want to buy from rocky mtn, because of their prices and I have a $50 gift certificate thing. Which helps convince the wife I need these. lol

I also like the extreme hauler better, becuase of my size and sometimes having to run over hardpack.

comparing a 22x11x8 to a 21x12x8, which do you guys think would be better.

It all gets pretty darn confusing sometimes.

Thanks for all the input
Bat
