97redshee Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 the 8's give you more floatation and when aired down you get more contact on the surface of the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 the flotation theory is a good way to look. i also look at it like does more rim, less tire weigh more or more tire, less rim. Really, I don't think it matters too much because the differences are so minute that it's probably not noticeable. My paddles are mounted on 10" Black Labels. I like the look of a 10" paddle/tire combo better, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamuel Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 how can a smaller rim make the tires float better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 how can a smaller rim make the tires float better? Taller sidewalls mean more surface area on the ground when aired down, but in this case, most paddles tires are so stiff that you could have no air in them and they'll still be upright.
