paddle tires

[fastfox]

will paddle tires make a BIG diff in the sand?? or is it a slight diff??

[rooster300ex]

Its a big difference. Depending what kind of tire you have now.
What kind of tires are you running now?

It's a big difference.

That doesn't mean you can't dune with knobbies though. I've certainly done it. You just have to ride differently and take a different approach to certain situations. There are some things that might be really hard to do with knobbies that wouldn't be a problem with paddles. Generally speaking, I'd say duning with knobbies is more challenging. Since dunes offer enough challenges all by themselves I'd recommend getting a set unless maybe it's going to be a one time deal. Rockymountain will deliver a "budget" set to your door for not too much.

[whiteEX]

what about using maxxis 4-snows or ams zippers compared to razrs or a straight or angled padde?

They would be far better than stockers (or Razrs), but in a dune type environment wouldn't compare to either of the paddles.

4-snows and Zippers are great for low horsepower machines where paddles would bog down the engine

Wouldn't 22" tires be a bit much, though?
