CFH87 Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 I'm looking into buying a set of sand gecco paddle tires there basicly brand new with 8 paddles. Would they work well with a dune ported banshee on 19cc domes and shearer pipes? I'm also gunna be running stock gearing. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 No, Sand Geckos are by far the absolute worst paddles sold. You will be wasting your money completely on them. They are one of the heaviest tires made, and don't hook up for shit. You'd probably be better off with knobbies in the sand, honestly. Sorry to burst your bubble, but good thing you asked. Quote
sangheraent Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 ok thats a little harsh. they work decently and they wear well. no they are much better then nobbies. 3 of my friends have been running sand gekos for about 4 years and they both have no problems with them. for the price they are decent. I would suggest saving up for some better paddles. but if your deciding between no paddles and paddles the gekos will get you where you need to go. in that price range iv seen a lot of people run AMS sand sharks the straight paddles and have good luck with those. Edit: I also run sand gekos on my 250r. but I got them for free. Quote
Boston Posted May 6, 2011 Report Posted May 6, 2011 i wouldnt take the time to switch from nobbies to geckos... jus sayin. Ive seen descent skat traks for around 150 id much rather run half wore out skat traks then geckos anyday. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 I ran geckos for exactly half of a day at glamis. My old worn out sand shark's were 10x better than brand new geckos. I was glad I brought them on that trip. Quote
toytech Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 gecko's are way better than nobbies in sand, but no where near the tire you need, you want haulers. Quote
CFH87 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah he only want's 100$ for the set and there lightly used still got the nipples on them on itp rims. Quote
bansheesandrider Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah he only want's 100$ for the set and there lightly used still got the nipples on them on itp rims. They are almost new and he is selling them, what does that tell you? You would be much better with some haulers, the AMS, or some ITP paddles, in that order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
JustPlainJane Posted May 7, 2011 Report Posted May 7, 2011 They are almost new and he is selling them, what does that tell you? You would be much better with some haulers, the AMS, or some ITP paddles, in that order!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Damn bro u nailed that on the head!! Ya man don't waste ur money buy a quality set of paddles and you will b much happier Quote
CFH87 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Report Posted May 7, 2011 Well if i'm gunna get haulers how many paddle hauler should I get. And where and how much do they normally cost? Quote
