front sand tires

[MoRePOWER]

do you really need front sand tires...do they do anything at all?? do they help you turn, or give you more speed or anything??

I would not say you NEED them...but I do prefer them. I run the Skat Trak Mowhawks with the center row and I experience better turning characteristics but it is not a windfall. Also, they are lighter in weight to the stockers.

I can not go anywhere with them you can not go...but it is a more pleasurable experience with them.

me and my dad run them on our quads at first we ran stock tires then we heard good news about them and tried and they are really awsome there comparable to holshots on dirt with these in the sand

Get a set of Razr fronts they work great in both environments. ;) They've got that center row.

The thicker ply on them won't let them "float" as well.. but they work well enough.

The reason why a lot of guys use the front sand tires is because, the stock ones spit up sand. This will only affect you if you have race cut fenders. If you dont you should be fine. Me personally, I think they look 100 times better.

I use dune trackers with the solid center rib.. and let me tell you they catch so good they really take some getting used to. when you let off the throttle and turn it can really whip ya hard.

yeah i had a run in with that the first time i jumped with them one dont land even a little bit with your wheels turned you will tip

ive got the sandstar fronts and i love them. like previously stated they are lighter than knobbies, and they glide along the top and dont throw up as much sand and dont have as much drag. but what i really like is that i can swing my bike around on a dime, they make my turning way better... i personally think the sandstar fronts that are dual ribbed are the best front sandstars out there...

I have the sandstar fronts to with the dual rib!! I think it helps the bike handle better through the sand! I love em

They are not neccessarily needed but do help out a lot in turning. I run 22" Dune Trackers up front and they just float on top and turn like I am on rails. I have tried Razr dirt tires and they are less responsive. I would say get them after several trips to the dunes they will be worth it.

I run the kenda 22-8-10 dune runnners on front of all my bikes. They work much better than knobby tires in the sand. I never believed in using them until I rode my buddies bike with dune runners up front, what a difference. Now all my bikes have them. Just my opinion, hope it helps

[OKTRX450R]

How do you think the Dune Runners compare to the AMS Diamond Traks?

[mikez91169]

I really couldn't give a fair comparison between the Ims tires and the dune runners, I have no experience with the diamond trak tires. I would think if they are both identically designed then the performace should be identical. My cousin has dune trackers on his 450r and it rides just as well as mine with the dune runners. I don't notice any difference between his bike and mine.
