papa_smurf49319 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Looking at some 21X12X8 9 paddle skat trak hauler extremes mounted on .190 douglas 8x8's. For my bike The girl need paddles to, she wants to go with the itp sandstars, 20x11x8 on the itp t9 pro series. How do those sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanYE west Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 .190 isn't needed for the dunes.. I'd go for the .160's and save some cash.. but tire choice sounds good. Most of us use .125 rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa_smurf49319 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 ya i figured as much on the rims, but are the .190's much heaverier? I just figured that if i ever wanted to use these rims for something other than paddles then the extra strength couldnt hurt, i didnt even check the price difference, is it substantial?

papa_smurf49319 Posted March 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 are the .190's much heaverier? Is this to much paddle for the bike, i know it might be to much paddle for the stock swinger, but ill scrafice having to let out of it until i can get a longer swinger if needed.

papa_smurf49319 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Just got done talking to john at sandtoyz, eneded up with 21X12X8 9 paddle skat trak extremes for mine on douglas .125's For the girls we ended up with 21x12x8 8 paddle skat trak edges on douglas .125's Total shipped to michigan came to $650 and shipping was about $69. Sound about right? I know rockmountain was about $605 shipped but it woulda took till the end of april to get them. Also he tried to convince me to go with the regular haulers and said that extremes usually are ran on the huge bike such as his twister, but i held my ground on that one.

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Finally got my paddles in today they look good, they look huge on the bike with that stock swinger lol. Also they say like trekstar or something on the side is that normal? On the paddles they say extreme skat trak, but the trakster or something i thought was different. Also what should i be running for pressure, heres some pics below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine say something different on the tire itself too, I'm pretty sure they buff other tires of different brands and add their paddles to them after.

papa_smurf49319 Posted April 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 So after much research it sounds like skat trak does recycle other tires and buff them and put there paddles on them. Kinda bullshit i think spending that kinda coin on a recycled carcass, had no idea it wouldnt say skat trak on the side, if i woulda known that i woulda went with the bead to bead buff. But enough bitching. Good thing is after alot of research i found that most said that the trekster carcass is the lightest carcass that skat trak uses, which is a good thing for me lol. Ill weight the tires and rims this weekend, would be curious to see what others have on the side off there haulers and extremes and how much they weigh.

Badbar88 Posted April 8, 2010 Report Share Posted April 8, 2010 Mine say "Green Saver". Turns out this is a golf cart tire originally, great. So I'm guessing they might suck but they were free so I can't bitch. Further investigation it seems they are a somewhat popular tire for Skat Trak to use, BUT I have found that Skat Trak does make tires, usually for 10" rims, that actually say Skat Trak on them.
