8" paddle tires

[BrianEb]

I know most of the pros who race dirt run that 8" rim.

But what about a 8" rim mounted with paddle tires.

Is there a traction difference with the 8"

I have run the 10"s and 8"s on my paddles and I'll never go back to anything larger then an 8"s again. The weight difference is amazing. No traction difference that I could tell but the unspun weight difference is a lot.

I run the same thing. I would not change to anything larger than an 8 inch. Less weight also, really makes a difference.
