hyperlite33 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 I would personally get the Kenda Gnarley in the 20" size even though I have had great luck with my 20" ITP Holeshot tires. For Duning tire (all around play tire) I would suggest the ITP sand stars. They hook up well and a great non-dragging tire. :thumbsup: Quote
sa3ood_banshee Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Posted September 26, 2007 thnx man i think i might go for some hole shots,but will they do gd in sand or no, btw nice ride :thumbsup: sa3ood Quote
phxrider Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Holeshots for Desert ridding Haulers for the Dunes. You can get around the Dunes in knobbies, but you're going to be spinning the wheels a lot. But they won't be good in the really soft spots. Edited September 26, 2007 by phxrider Quote

If your going to ride sand a lot, it is definetly worth it! Check out RMATV Knarly if your on a budget for knobbies as they are cheap. I used to have the 18" knarlys and they had unreal traction but wore quick because of the MX compound. The 20" and 22" are a hard compound...I would trade my holeshots in a second for them! Quote
SoCalinIt Posted September 27, 2007 Report Posted September 27, 2007 I think he's looking for an all around tire... Not two types... If that's the case... I'd go Kenda... I think they would hook up better in the sand. IMO Quote
swrbansheeboy Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 ive always wanted to try these but all i ride is sand so haulers are my poison... http://www.rockymountainatv.com/productDet...odFamilyId=6048 Quote
BellicoseBanshee Posted September 28, 2007 Report Posted September 28, 2007 I am surprised to hear that the Maxxis 4-snow do not work well...I have in the past used Pro-Wedge II in the sand, and they were awesome and very light, too. I ran them in the snow as well, but when I was in the sand I would install them to run the opposite direction so the blades would scoop like a sand paddle (the tires had an arrow to provide correct direction for mounting; the blades do not scoop for snow use). I do not remember my PWIIs being very heavy... If you are wanting a sand tire only, I would recommend Skat-Trak Haulers or Skat-trak Edge, 21X11X8- 8 paddles. I use both and like both of them. I do prefer the Haulers and do not seem to notice a big difference in turning most of the time. The Edge do seem to turn and slide a little easier. Both are very light as well. Those tires pictured above (Desert Storm) look mean. Quote

phxrider Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) His signature says "20X10X10 8-paddle Haulers"..... Yup! 20 x 10 x 10 with 10 x 8" Douglas Blue labels. They look nice and hook up just right, especially on the steep dunes. I didn't like the sand skates when I would ride with other, cause if you got someone in front of you slowing down on a side of a steep dune, your ass starts to slide downward.
