87sheerips Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 There has been a lot of random discussion about these tires lately. I have run many paddles over the years. Nothing compares for duning. Nothing. These will work from a stock banshee up to a 421 cub with great traction and dune-ability everywhere. Play, drag whatever. Weigh nothing, wider than comparable paddles, and a fins that dig like none other. You can hear and feel it instantly. Give them a shot, pay the premium. I've had mine for 5 years rocking the plug repairs and all. They have literally been the winning factor for me in dune racing in the past. Anyways discuss them here.

Badbar88 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 How much do they pay you JD?! I'd try em out if someone had some to lend me ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Dude I bought them used off my buddy a few years ago and just can't get over the fact that hardly anybody runs them. Skat track etc is garbage for a play bike tire IMO. They just plain kick ass, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My piggy bank is filling up for my brat fund. My buddy has a set, they are a amazing tire. He's gone on a lot of different terrain, they hold up. I'm a believer in these tires.

dave5.0 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I bought a used set of 6 paddle for my 450. Replaced some heavy ass sand stars. Way better tire. Couldn't believe the difference dropping 2 paddles even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Oregon Motorsports sells 8 paddles for $135 a tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave5.0 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Driven by that joint a dozen times. Have to stop and check it out one of these days. Matthew how big of a pita is it to cut these tires down? That seems to be where the money is since the tires really aren't that much $$.

I get tires cut from them all the time. Usually they do it in a few hours. Half the time I never pay. I had some #2 padla brats cut for my sand car and they did them in like 45 minutes.

dave5.0 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'd imagine setting up a set of super lights or whatever they call them is a little more involved than Tyler cutting the knobs off with a sawzall though right? If a guy buys a set and cuts them down at home are they gonna weigh a ton? Without shaving down the carcass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
