With the 8" wheels, I have great side bite and in the bowls it will bee line around them rather I'm going fast or slow. They don't slide like my old 10" wheels did. I won't buy anything but 8" sls haulers for any banshee I own.
I put the 9pdls on the 4mil stock cyl this year (vs the 10" 8 pdl non buffed haulers) and they worked amazingly.
Trail Bikes, FTW
