Unless you have a super big motor I would think about a 6 extreme or 7 hauler. You gain about 3 mph when compared to an 8 from what I have been told from the guys at sand toyz unlimited, and they have alot of fast 250r's

i got a 310 esr kit on her , had the gecko sand tires they worked good but i do alot of hill climbin and draggin up hills when im at the dunes , i had the 7 paddle hauler for about a month a buddy let me borrow but didnt know if i should go back to that or look at an 8 or 9 paddle , got another buddy who has the 8 paddle on his banshee seems to work good in the tree shots so getting your guys input .

what gearing do you run on that bike? how tall were the borrowed tires? typically, for someone that rides mainly dunes i'd run a bit taller tire.... say a 21/22 inch. i personally like to run a 20" tire but on the widest wheel i can get. this will widen the tire a bit and give more surface contact. as previously mentioned, i run a 20" with a 14/37-38 and am running a stout (true)250 and can do 2nd gear launches.
