Yaxy Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 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.

Wallrat Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I concur. They're excellent duning tires! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadillacBanshee Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 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 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallrat Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaxy Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks everyone for your support. Sandstars it will be! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh88 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hittintrees srh Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 i had a set of sand stars- i didnt care for em' much but thats just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducman Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 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.
