ITP Sandstars?

[Yaxy]

I am making my first trip to Silver lake this summer and need help picking a paddle tire. I have a mildy mannered banshee and RZ shee that are coming along and from doing a search it looks like the 8 paddle, v-design and 20x11x10 is where I am heading. I do not need to spend alot on tires since I will probably only use them 1 time per year. I like the design of the ITP sandstars and the price at $50.00 each with no shipping sounds good. Unfortunately I have not seen too many view points on there performance.

 

Does anyone have any info on these tires or have used them? Thanks for the help.

They are great for rec riding, I have a set of front and rearfor a banshee that i want to sell because i am doing more draging now. pm me if you are interested. they only have about 5 rides on them, they look brand new with douglas blue label wheels.

Thank you for the offer. At this point I have an extra set of rims that just need tires.

 

Thanks anyways

i love mine for duning. not draggin, but for jump runnins bowls and jumpin, they are perfect. not too heavy and not overpriced like sand skates

I concur. They're excellent duning tires!

Those tires suck. You are way better off spending a little more on the scat trak edge tire, those are top notch all around sand tires.

Please define why you do not like thiese tires I will be doing some dragging but diveristy is more important. I live 600 + miles away and this is my first itme at Silverlake. We would like thisto be a yearly trip and will probably go at the max 2 time per year. Other than that I do not ride in any sand, just dirt and fire roads.

 

Thanks

Personally I like the stars better than any other v-blade I've ridden but I guess its personal preference. Some folks may prefer other v-blades but Cadillac is the first person I've ever heard say that the stars suck. So either he's talking out his ass, or everybody else is. Just get em, you won't be dissapointed.

Thanks everyone for your support. Sandstars it will be!

I have never heard a complaint about the Sand Stars.

"The Edge"? I have seen 3 sets fall apart. Literally. The glued on paddles by Skat Trak have that nasty habit. For some reason, "the Edge" has the problem the most.

i run sandstars all the way around on 10" wheels. the tires are great at silver lake. no complaints here. you won't be disappointed.

Thanks everyone for your input. I will be ordering a set of Sandstars this week.

On a stock length swingarm sand stars are all the more paddle you need. When I ran them on my stock swinger with a +4mm stroker I got all the traction I could handle. They are very durable and excellent for all around duning.

They suck.
