but how many paddles do i get??? 8 or 9 or 10 paddles.... also will 20-11-9 or 20-10-10 fit my stock rim?? plz help me out thanks

OK...

What kind of riding are you going to be doing, (dunes, desert, etc?)??

What kind of mods do you have to your bike?

How long is the swingarm on your bike.

 

The first two numbers on the tire size are the tire height and width, the last number is the rim diameter.

 

So...if you have 9 inch rims, a 10 inch tire isn't gonna fit, and vice versa...

Any particular reason you chose that paddle tire? Just wondering... Anyway, I would get the 21-12-8 8 paddles. I like the 21s better then 20s.

 

If you want them to go on stock rims you would need to get a different tire that comes in a 9" wheel.

 

If you are duning, look at Skat Trak haulers, in 21-12-8 8 paddles.

well my swing arm is stock them mods are just a toomey kit "t-5 pipes and air box kit"...... i chose that because i there is lot of sand where i ride and lots of hard pack and normal tires suck. so i cant do a normal paddle caz it will tear it to shit or am i wong? o howmany paddles on that tire i chose do ya think?

Kenda Klaws, cut every other row off the tire. You'll be fine.

if i do that then it would almost be the tire i picked. stil need ideas this tire thing is killing me......

That tire works ok in sand, and ok in hard pack, (I had it on the front of my rhino) but its not puncture resistant at all. I would recommend a realtor if your riding in both terrains, has a scoop like tread, its realt thick, and should dig into dirt really well.

Not really...like Snop said, that tire you picked has little puncture resistance...

 

I've always liked realtors, but they are heavy som bitches.

ya that tire snop got there on that link rocks.. save me some cash to.... so is the weight gonna slow me down like huge or what.... has any one used those? how are they?

[SoCalinIt]

Tons of people use those tire for drag racing... They are heavy, and will slow you down a bit, but is it worth it to you to have a tire that can do almost everything... It seems like it could be a very good tire for what you are looking for...

 

Just my .02

I have used it in hard pack with sand, mud, and snow. It does well in all areas.

[Bansheekid07]

so when i wanna blow up some hill its not gonna bog me way the hell down right.

[Snopczynski]

well, the fact that its a 22" tire, you may want to add at least two teeth to the sprocket in the rear, or drop one in the front. Dont go under a 13t in the front though. That will compensate for your tire size a bit.
