what would be the best paddle tire to get for the yfz450? i do alot of drag racing ut also like to ride the dunes. i was thinking the itp sandstars. i was told that you can't slide the rear end out if you get the straight paddles. thats why i was thinking the itp sandstars because they are v shaped. what would you run?

If you do alot of drag racing get the straight paddle.

V paddles are easier to turn and slide but it isn't difficult with straight paddles.

/\ /\ Ya, what he said.

The straights hook up the best (I'd recommend Skat Trak Haulers) and you can learn to ride them quickly. I don't have any problems pitching my back end around.

i agree with this. ive got sand skate v shaped paddles and i dont seem to have to try too hard to run with straight paddles. a friend of mine has both and mostly rides the v paddles. if you ONLY gonna drag then get the straight paddles but if you plan on riding the dunes go with the v shaped just cuz they are more multi functional. nothin against straights though.

i put sandstars on my 400ex, and i love them. they hooked up pretty well, i thought. plus, they look pretty sweet on my quad. i got the 20-11-10's, and they look hella good on there.
