Craig B Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Now that I'm making good power ( 10 mil) my tires [xc masters] just spin. I need a tire that can do it all. Not enough sand here for a paddle. I go down paved roads to get to riding areas. There is soft sand, gravel, hard packed and trails. Anyone use Skat trak terrain traks? I know that they wont be as tough as a 6 ply trail tire, but I can still keep my XC tires & wheels for trails. Any help or info on sizing or how many paddles needed. Gearing is 15/40 as of now. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I just bought a set of CST Pulse and I believe they will work very well. I paid $330 shipped for front and rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mike NY Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Those tires look like they hook like a mother! The lugs look shaped slightly different than the ambushes, it appears the ambushes have a more squarish lug. is there a noticeable difference? Didn't you remove alternating rows Tyler? Would you suggest doing that or leaving them as they are? Craig I'd like know what tire you end up with.. Good luck finding a tire! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 I have a set like that as well. Awaiting my chain a few other parts to go test them out. Hopefully next weekend. The lugs are deep in person with a good spread. I got mine from 4wheelonline.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are going on my YFZ450, but I suspect they will work very well. I have a lot of time working with dirt tires, and these Pulse tires have all the characteristics of a good hooking tire, in my somewhat educated opinion. Don't cut anything off of them. Run them as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig B Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) Are the Pulse are going to hook that much better than these?? They don't look that much different. Edited April 10, 2016 by Craig B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeper06 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 My advise is borrow some ohtsu from rob and try them. I have a feeling your gonna overpower any tire so before spending cash see if u can borrow tires to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Shee Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 For Locohomo to suggest these over Ohtsu says something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Ohtsu is a very good tire too. I'm not sure one is superior to the other. I base my tire recommendations on a lot of different factors. I'm not going into all of my "secrets" as I've literally spent thousands of dollars on dirt tires over the years and compared tread patterns, lug height, lug thickness, hardness, weight, etc. I wouldn't steer you guys wrong.

sheerider11 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yeah just let me know if you want to try them. I really like them on my 4 mil. I also have the sand stars. We can go to sand and see what you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreb84 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Alot of ppl around my way use cheetahs...if its a drag bike on knobbies 9 times out of 10 its cheetahs around here there supposed to hook really good on pavement http://www.hpcheetahtires.com/tires.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Those things are fucking junk. I can name 100 tires better than those. The PR guys love them. They must be cheap as fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreb84 Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 You could be right but i gamble on drag races on the regular some of the fastest bikes ive seen out there had those tires on...a friend of mine has a 10 mill supercub and thats all he uses for asphalt races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
