bbcmudtruck Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 What tires will I need? I have a dune port, +6 timing, cool head with 165psi and t5s. What else do you need to know? Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Well, tires are more of a preference out there.. an angled paddle will give you better turning while sacrificing straight line grab, straight paddles will give you awesome hook but hinder your turning some... I prefer using a straight paddle tire..My vote is for an 8paddle hauler, expensive but they will hook nicely. if your looking to go cheap, a gbc sand devil is about the cheapest straight edge you can find.. they work ok, we have 2 devils 8's and 10's, sand skate 2's and a 10 paddle hauler on the cub. draw backs to these are the gbc paddle doesnt have much life, haulers are expensive, sand skates seem to use up the motor more, pro's- haulers have an awesome life span if your not peeling out on hard stuff, devils are cheap and you wont complain about paying to much if they dont work for you, skates turn nicely.If you have the money id say 8 paddle haulers, with some front sand tires.the sand is very fine and soft out there the more bite the better imo.. But like i said its preference :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jharader Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Forgot to mention weight as a factor, Haulers are a very light tire yet durable.. you want the least amount of weight rotating as possible on the sand.. use alum wheels with whatever tire you go with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
