In July i'm going to silver lake sand dunes with some buddy's and am in need of some sand tires. I am looking at these GBC sand sharks. I don't want something real expensive cause i wont be using them much, but are these some decent tires?
input is greatly appreciated

I use to have these on my warrior and they worked great at silver, had them for 3 years with about 10 trips and they looked like new still when I sold em, they seem to hold up really well for the price, I would say yes, but you will get alot of mixed reviews when coming to paddles

I'd say go with those man. I have a set for my 400 and they work great as an all-around dune tire.

yeah those be good tires and all , i ran the kenda geckos for a summer just to get me by and they were awesome for the price. i think they were only 40-45 a piece.

Those will do you fine on trails and small hills, just don't expect to climb anything big with them. I had some Sand Geckos for a while and they were okay, but they buried on bigger hills. I just upgraded to some Skat~Trak Extremes, which is one of the best paddles you can buy. But they're also $110 or so a piece. I myself don't care much for the v-shaped blades. They're supposed to corner better, but I didn't notice a difference between them and my dad's straight paddles. Just that he would fly past me on the hills. I'd recommend getting the Sand Devils (http://www.mud-throwers.com/inc/sdetail/161) in 20x11x8.
