Haulers (sand Paddles)

[doltz]

All right boys give some opinions on Hauler sizes I am def. going with a 9 paddle but dont know what size to buy.

 

Is there much difference between a 22 11 10 9 paddle & 20 10 10 9 paddle?

 

Or the other options are 22 11 8 9 paddle?

 

Opinions appreciated

I'd go with 20's myself, unless you're going to primarily drag...then I'd run the 22's.

That's funny. I suggest the complete opposite. If you are gonna drag, stick with the 20's. The 22 inch tire gives you extra ground clearance which allows you go travel through deep sand. My buddy has the 20's and often times he gets stuck in the areas that I just glide through. The 20's allow for a lot more wheel spin which helps getting off of the line.

 

The only problem with the 9 paddle is that you will probably have to special order it. I think that Skat Trak is the only one that stocks them. The 8 or 10 paddle can be bought alot cheaper through Rocky Mountain.

 

I usually run the 22x11x8 on a 8x8 rim and a 8 paddle tire. This gives you alot of ground clearance, good roundness to the tire, and enough sidewall where you are not going to bend rims. Go with the .125 rims because it is unlikley that you will bend a rim with the 22's. If you had 20's and a 10 inch rim then I would suggest the .190's

I like the 20" better for all around riding because it's not as tall. The 22" tires balloon up and make it harder to fling the rear end around without bicycling.
