Loc Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I am going to pick up a set of haulers for my Banshee. It is mostly stock with pipes. The question is what size Haulers. I searched and searched and found so many different options. My head is starting to hurt and figured I would like to know from people who have ran the different sizes. I am planning on staying with an eight paddle setup. 22x11x8 22x11x10 20x10x10 20x10x8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxrider Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) If you're running a stock bike, and don't plan on doing a whole lot of engine mods, I suggest going with 20" 8-paddle haulers. 10" wheels look better on a stock swingarm, but the 8" wheel setup hooks up better for drag racing. 22's are too big for a stocker. I love my 20x10x10's. My 2 pennies! Edited March 9, 2009 by phxrider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidos76 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 its height X width x rim size stock motor i would use a 20x10x8 shorter tire and smaller rim.IMO On a mostly stock bike i dont think you will notice a dif in the 20x10x8, 20x10x10. you will probably notice a diff between the 20x10x8 and the 22x10x8. the 22 have a longer rollout. Maybe someone else will chime in, I'm not sure exactly how a stock motor would work with each size(i've never had a stock motor). It also depends on what you will do to the shee later. but paddles that will last you through most of your mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Banshee Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) it all really depends on what type of riding you do. if you do all around sand riding then go with a 20x10x10. if you are going to do drag racing go with a 22x10x8. i personally think with a stock swinger and a pretty much stock motor with pipes 22x10x8 is to much tire. i used to run a 20x10x10 9 paddle with a stock swinger on my bike before i did a complete rebuild and i loved it. it was really fun to ride but was probably a lil wheelie happy. a 20x10x10 8 paddle will probably work really good for you. if you plan on extending the swingarm any time soon or doing some motor work then go with a 9 or 10 paddle. just my 2 cents. hope that helps. good luck.

01banch Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 honestly I hate the 10 inch wheel, If i were to do it again I would get a 9 paddle on a 8 inch wheel, But everyone has a different preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerBob Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 honestly I hate the 10 inch wheel, If i were to do it again I would get a 9 paddle on a 8 inch wheel, But everyone has a different preference. Would 21x12x8 8 paddle haulers give me trouble powersliding, donuts, bowl shooting etc? I know they would be good dragging and I was going to go with the 10 inch wheels but found a good deal on a set of 8's not sure if they are right for me tho as I would drag less than 10% of the time.

shanYE west Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anything bigger then a 20" on a 8" rim is going to have too much sidewall flex when cornering IMO. For all-around dune riding I like the 20" on 10" rims also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Performance Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 If this is going to be strictly a dune bike then I would stay away from the haulers all together. For your current mods and even a few mods beyond that, the haulers offer no benefit to you at all. Save some money and get some ITP Sand Stars. They will power slide much easier and turning will be easier as well. I would stick with a 20x10x9 in the rear and the 21x7x10 for the front. They look great, cost less, and for the amount of power your bike has will offer the same amount of traction as the more expensive haulers.
