Snopczynski Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well if the guy before you didn't abuse them, then your doing it. Skat Trak paddle tires will last a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Well if the guy before you didn't abuse them, then your doing it. Skat Trak paddle tires will last a very long time. I had a set of haulers last almost 5 years before the paddles started to break off. They broke at the cup, not where they are vulcanized to the carcass. Just from being old I suspect.

Yeah, I was watching some of the idiots in the campground at Sand Lake last weekend drifting around the corners and the entrance to the campground. They were just haulin ass with there paddles on the asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregon Banshee Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Yeah last time i was at coos bay at horse falls campground there were a few guys with bikes reving up their engine and popping their clutch like they were trying to launch and was spinning their tires on pavement. some people much have alot of money because we all know they go through paddles, and paddles tires aren't cheap. another thing that i noticed that makes me cringe is when people start their bike in the morning and just start to rev the shit out of it for like 5 minutes non stop :ohmy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
