Default 20"or 22" Extreme Haulers for dune hill climbing and drags

Now I know I want the extreme haulers with 8 paddles for my 02 Raptor. BUT I'm not sure 20"or 22". I've read 20" dig in and alot of you recommend 22", but they seems so much bigger to turn. I'm 250 lbs also.

DFITZ-i would agree with trirap about the 21-12-8 haulers that is what i run on my raptor in a ten paddle and they are a good climber and drag tire.tri rap it says in your info that you run 12 paddle haulers does your raptor pull these without any problems.i am curious about your 12 paddle set up because many people told me that ten was too much for my raptor but i have found that they do very well with the extra horsepower of the 686 ,just curious.

It really depends how you ride and what you want from your bike. My shee runs pretty good. I am running 21-12-8 9 paddle extremes. Its great for riding the dunes, but almost seems to be too much tire for the drags. Its hard to blow the tires away and keep the front end down off the line.

I have tried 10 paddle extremes. They spin too much on the start. With the 12 paddles It lifted the front end too much with a +4 swing arm so I went with a +6. Seams to be a good match.

22" tires are best in the dunes, they give you more ground clearance & don't dig holes as easy.
I run the 8 paddle Extremes on my piped Raptor & they work great!!
Get the 8 paddle 22" Extremes for your current mods, or you might think about 9 paddles after you get the piston & cam, if you get porting & bigger carbs you might go 10 paddles.

Be honest with what your going to do with your engine, if you over paddle it will bog you down in the dunes.
You want to be able to spin the tires in the dunes, if you over paddle you'll bog & hook up when you don't want them to (like when your climbing a hill) & that won't be pretty!!

Get a set of ultralites if your looking for the best drag and hill climb tires out there. I pulled around 2 bike lengths more on the hill over my 8 paddle haulers! The amount of paddles is up to you and what you plan on doing with your bike.
