Advice for sand tires.

[Moe.Laub]

I have a 9x9 omf rear wheel. I can't seem to find a 21" paddle tire with 8 or more paddles. I take that back, eBay had a couple but they seemed like cheapys. Can anyone help me find a 21" paddle. My bike is a 4mil cub. I don't want a 22" tire though

My bike is going to be a sand only bike. Won't see any dirt/snow/water ect.

I've been getting into hill climbing and the other week I went to Monson MA. I ran my regular trail set up with Holeshot GNCC's. I learned real quick that the set up, especially the tires were not cutting it. It was a really sandy hill and towards the end of the day the hill dryed up and got really loose.

 

I'm looking for a sand tire set up. The thing is, and I'm not entirely sure if it was just this hill, but they only allowed paddle tires with a break in the paddle, which I don't quite understand. I'd imagine what it sounds like.

 

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions? Brand, type, size, etc.

Also, I'm running a 485 P/V Cheetah with stock swing arm.

Was there any other banshees there? Last time I went it was all dirt bikes. But the first time I went to watch there was a bunch of cool banshees with dm motors in them and other quads.

[shee4202]

There was a few shee's there. There were only 4 quads competeing. One of the shee's had a trex 517. I think he was having trouble with his engine. I'm not exactly sure what happen. One of the other quads had a street bike engine and he was doing pretty good.

You should look into the Skat Trak Terrain Tires they are pricey but worth every penny.

low profile skat trak. Don't need a bunch of paddles maybe 8-10. I run these on a 400ex with a 440 motor in loose sand. Its fun to ride but tends to kick out a bit when turning and you can get sideways if you are on the gas hard. Its fun. I can't do this on the banshee because I have drag style skat traks on 8" rims and its more like balloon tires. Its woblles side to side on the trails... but the low profile I have on the 400 are much better. It does very good on the hills too. I plan on getting some new ones for the banshee once I finish installing a new motor. The one thing that I like about the skats is that they are light and are best traction in loose loamy trails and sand. If I were to pick another tire it would be the turf tamers. You can mod your tires by cutting the lugs off to form a type of paddle and this is what hill climbers do when in a certain class and can't run paddles.....
