Good Sand Tire/Rim Combo?

[D400ex909]

I need a quality tire/rim sand tire combo, but price is a factor. I dont go to dunes often, but i feel i have to have sand tires when i do go... Also, i'm curious becuz whenever i look up sand tires, theres virtuallly none in a 9inch rim, how do i know if larger/smaller rims will fit my quad? Any thoughts would be appreciated! thanks

[D400ex909]

i forgto to add, i only want rear's becuz my stock tires will have to do, also, i have 20/11/9 holeshots, how will they do in the sand?
thanks again

Holeshot and sand= No good... If you still want to trail ride a little bit and go to the funes get a mud tire like blackwaters or something... If not then get a straight paddle tire(every one has there favorite)... I reccomend using the stock rims or .125 rims cuz sand is not hard on your rims...

I've got a set of like new Blackwaters on ITP aluminum rims (like new) for sale here in Columbus, IN if you're interested. $120 FIRM.

get gbc sand sharks mounted on douglas .160 rims that what i run and they work great and sand sharks are the cheapest v-blades you can get them out of rocky mountain atv for 150 (20*11*8) new mounted and ready to run

screw the sand sharks my friend has them and my stock radials womp all over them gbc's are a waste of money the stockers are awesome for playing around front and back but if you want a paddle tire get the skat traks for the extra money they weigh a 1\4 of the weight of sand sharks and devils

I picked up a set of Gecko's on Douglas .160's and used them at the dunes last weekend. I have never used sand tires before, but I think these worked damn good.

[airheadedduner]

skat strac or stu is the only way to go, get at least .160 wheels.

pro wedges are awesome they are good for sand and trail you can turn them one way for sand and one way for traill ill show pics

[MichaelS693]

heres my bike this is how you would turn them for sand

[MichaelS693]

this is stevengates45 bike ( had to use the pic bro) this is how you would use them for trails if you wanted to

If you end up going more often and you get a little more horsepower grab a set of these: 9 paddle extreme haulers on 10 inch rim. Any rim with a honda bolt pattern will fit on your quad.

[MichaelS693]

oh yeah both of those bikes are for sale

how do you like the extreme grips compared to reg. haulers. i have to run at least 8psi of tire pressure and it feels like i am runnin dirt tires with my haulers.

Dude, wtf your axle is still chrome,,,,,,,,it must be nice to ride in sand.:p

[eldoexrider01]

gbc has out geckos and they fit 9"rim and are suposed to be a good mix of strait and angled paddles

Why do you have to run so much air dude? You might wanna be careful with that much air pressure, I saw a dude explode a tire on a shee with about 7 PSI in it. I went from worn out 8 paddle regs to 9 paddle extremes...its a total different bike. It outruns the shee(on 8 paddle haulers) now. heh, it outruns about anything to tell you the truth. Some dudes were amazed that I was beating their alky 440's and 416's...lol I was on gas too...wish I still had that alky FCR41!

thanks for the info, i think i'll make the switch. if i run anything less then 8 i blow the tire off the beads jumping.
