DIRTBIKEZ Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I stopped squealing my tires in my cars/trucks when I had to pay for them myself (which was pretty much the whole time). Oh man, I know the feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotton eyed Joe Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I stopped squealing my tires in my cars/trucks when I had to pay for them myself (which was pretty much the whole time). Oh man, I know the feeling. 289838[/snapback] I start squeeling my tires when I'm about to go buy some new ones. Lately I've been able to light them up for a good 20+ feet or so. Not often though because I don't actually have the new tires yet. In fact I don't even have the money for the tires yet. I'm just kind of counting on having the money when I need the tires. hehe.

banshee370 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 I agree.Here's why. If you are over paddled you WILL stall or bog or what ever you want to call it. Me and a few others from here saw a VERY FAST 250R at Dumont this March that had paddles that were damned near smooth. I want to say his name was Harold....I can't remember. All I know is I asked him about his nearly bald paddles, and how he kept up with Banshee370's bike... He said with a taller hauler he'd bog down, so he went with a smaller paddle that allowed him to spin like a mother fucker. Not in every situation would this work. I think in 95% of the bikes out there its easier to just put them on the right way and if you are over paddled i.e. too much traction, either get tires with smaller or fewer paddles, air them up to reduce the "sand time area"...the amount of time the paddle is in the sand; gear down, or do some engine work. I know Harold paid more for his paddles that I did. So in my situation if I was biting too much I'd just gear it down a tooth. 289784[/snapback] Stan: It was Howard that your thinking of... and he runs STU paddle brats comp cut. Last I knew they were around 150.00 each WITHOUT the rim. (possibly more) These tires kick ass too... They hook like mad and throw no roost. (great for those high speed train rides) Here is a comparison its a copm cut tire next to one thats uncut. Now I love my Haulers but for anyone that follows behind me they suck (for them) I'd like to compare them on my shee........... but Im so used to the haulers... As for boneheads running them backwards........ rider22 is 100% correct... If your over paddled you can run them in reverse so that you dont bog or bog as much. Im sure that wasnt the case with the 2 fools Wallrat saw tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider22 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 thanks banshee370 and cotton eyed joe, I thought I was going to get toasted on for my response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fixitrod Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Stan, that was a 310r. Those tires are wild as hell, I just don't get how they work so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee370 Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Actually Rodney and Stan,,,, At the time Howard was running his 330 cyl in March... His son stole that motor from him just before T-day so Howard is back on his 310. They are BOTH great running bikes/motors. When they raced over t-day, they were fairly even with the 330 just a hair ahead at the top of the hill. Rider; No need to say Thanks..... its all good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love what almost 10,000lbs of truck can do with enough boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooker Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 I saw a kid here on base last week with a new 450R with V-blades on backwards, I don't think it was to keep him from bogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanddevil111 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 doing burnouts w/ paddles just sounds like those people with more money than they know what to do with.I stopped squealing my tires in my cars/trucks when I had to pay for them myself (which was pretty much the whole time). 289785[/snapback] word!! shits to expensive . I spent 380 per tire on my truck tires. course they were low pros and they were made for a bmw m3 but they work bad ass on my truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was getting my new tires I was nosing around the place. They had a set of 20"s and tires that weren't all that expensive. The dubs were 175-200 each or so, and the tire was about 80-120. The last time I bought rims and tires it was nearly $1600, and they weren't anything other than 16.5 rims and new Goodyear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
