Hi guys! i will like to hear opinions from people with more experience...this is about the correct paddles i should have, right now i have 20x10x10 9 haulers paddles, the paddles are almost brand new so they are hard, they hook great when i am duning but when i am dragging (drag i mean drag along the dune so i guess the correct concept is hillshooting) they spunn a lot at the start, i guess i need to have less air on the tire, i bought this paddles from 30 dlls each one so i will like to keep them as spare...so i guess i will need to save and bought a bigger paddle...a friend of mine used to have same mods and he was running 22x11x8 12 hauler paddles...do you think that if i look for a similiar set up my bike will hook up better? i am only 125 lbs weight, the most of the time will be hillshooting and sometimes will be at the flat drag..what do you think guys about what size will be the better set up...thanks! and sorry for the hugeee post !! my mods are on my signature

i will check my pressure...but how is the lowest and safest level that i can run on them?

 

 

I've ran em' as low as 4-4.5. Your quad looks fairley mild I think 9 paddle haulers should do the job. What is the condition of the cups on the tire itself. That can make a difference. Remember you are pretty light dude so after you holeshot get your butt on the back of that seat and hold on!!!!

IMO you are way off on tire right now with the 10" rims and a 20" tire . If fully drag ported with a +9 swingarm I would say get a 10,11, or possibly a 12 paddle extreme. If you have 90 HP alky, out of frames get the 12 paddle, if it's a gas motor it will be a little less on torque so it might not turn the 12s as well but you are light so I say use a 11 paddle 22" tire on an 8" rim 72" rollout.
