But if you want to be doing the tree shots by the water, or drag racing I would suggest a 22x11x8, 8 or 9 paddle extreme. Preferably a bead to bead buff (the tire is ground down to eliminate weight.) But you're going to be spending some coin on them. I don't know what your budget is, but if this is a one time dune trip, I would say go with a used set of 20x10x10s. For fronts your dirt tires will work. Gearing will have to do with what type of riding you'll be doing. As long as your not running a ton of gear, it'll probably work. Awesome advice thanks. Curious to why a smaller rim, taller tire and less paddle makes a better tire for hill climbs or tree shots? Does I balloon more, or does the one less paddle make it easier to clear out sand?

SKEETER Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Ever watch what a top fuel dragster tire does ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusto Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 yes it balloons. What makes that better for tree shots ? Is it because you can rev out and not change gears? That’s what I’m thinking but I’ve never road sand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKEETER Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well the wrinkling effect = traction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Well the wrinkling effect = traction^^^still one the coolest things I’ve ever seen in slow motion. Opened my eyes to what tires really do. Fak expensive breaks. I spring for good tires on every POS I have.

Larger sized tire will have more surface area, and won't want to dig down too. Since your a bit heavier than me, you probably could run more paddle and keep the front end down. I'm running a 22x11x8, 9 paddle on my 521, but thats in an attempt to keep the front end down. BTW, what size of swing arm are you running? That'll play a large factor in the sand.

Dang if my shee was up and running I'd like to meet up with yah and ride.

I run the padla brats with my 421 serval and love them but i have never ridden skats on this setup to compare. Critique these for me. They look like extremes do t they? https://www.kijiji.ca/v-tires-rims/red-deer/douglas-racing-banshee-rims-and-stock-gold-rims-with-rubber/1489665423 Edited March 12, 2020 by gusto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gusto Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well this add changed since I. Emailed him. The add showed a banshee with 10 paddle skats. What’s for sale now is sand skates with now hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I put an add out and I just picked up some extremes for a great price. I’m sure they’re extremes because of the paddle height. They only look about as high as a 20 in tire, on a 8 in Douglas and have 10 paddles. So I think me stock gearing will be perfect. Seem like a good pickup?
