scooter Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 stock fronts will work fine but you will like a sand front tire much better imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phx450 Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Front knobs are fine unless you dune a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 The real problem comes in when you switch from riding knobs on sand to real sand tires. If you're not careful you'll end up on the ground after the 1st turn. But yeah, dirt tires are fine. The only time that they'll really screw you is when riding sideways on a steep dune. They're fine for uphill and downhill, but have a hard time with that sideways shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyguy Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 yeah i could see that... bc the tire doesnt have the (lip) in the middle to keep it on course...thanks .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrenaline junky Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Sand tires unlimited front tires are truely the best! I dont have them yet but ive tried them on other quads before and they are truly the best. Stock tires SUCK if you are a seriuos duner. Never ridden in sand before but ive seen alot of people running stock tires in Dunes.If not you can sell them to me :thumbsup: You cant really talk about duning stuff if youve neveer ridden in the sand before. Youvegot to try it! Its so much better because first of all, sand is forgiving, dirt isnt, if you fall in the dirt its going to cost a lot of money to fix your bike but if you fall in the sand the worst you going to get is a broken flag, there are whey more oppertunities to go fast, the sand actually cleans your quad while your out there, no spark arresters, more parties, less rules, and there are usually a lot more people camping with you. Once youre a duner you will never look back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 You'll be fine with paddles in the rear only. All you need is the push so you'll be good with front knobs. You'll get used to it. Many riders do it this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jhughes7 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 If your just duning, Get her some sand stars or sand skate II's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 San Tires Unlimited "razorback" is the best and the lightest. Stock knobbies are fine. For the Blaster, don't get too aggressive a paddle. It will bog the little engine. You don't want to spend too much money on Blaster Tires, especially for a girlfried. GBC Sand Sahrks would be a good way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBC Sand Sahrks would be a good way to go. And the widest! :biggrin: But I wouldnt waste all of that money intoa blaster. I would say get some gbc dune trakers for the front, and some sand devils for the back. That worked out perfect for me when I used to have a blaster!

SoCalinIt Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 (edited) And the widest! :biggrin: I'm with Adrenaline Junky on this one! I know this topic is somewhat closed, but I really want to promote the STU front tires. I have the STU Razorbacks on my 97... They are the best floating sand tire on the market IMO. Here's an old crappy pic of my 97 front... Edited December 4, 2006 by SoCalinIt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
