With the tire rounded you will have less paddle contact with the surface and will accutally loose some traction and or spin more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 With a +4 id stay with a 21x12x8. 10 paddle. U can go with a 22x11 or 22x12. Ive never really felt a traction difference from 11" to 12" wide. But i get the difference by goin up in paddle count. I run 12 paddle 22x11x8 on my 70hp 350. And its perfect.

toytech Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I have a simular setup to you and run 21x9x11 10 paddle haulers and could use a little more, but works decent. I have my foot pegs down 1 back 2 that helps some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
