I'm taking my 22x10x8 10 paddle extremes off and giving them to my dad, and I want to experiment with another size/paddle combo. It would be for Oregon coastal sand, in the summer. I loved my tires for climbing, but with my gearing, I couldnt launch very well for flat drags. They hooked up too much and bogged me down when I started in 2nd.
I was thinking like a 10 inch wheel might help, as the tire wouldn't grab as deep in the sand. My setup before practically left ruts, so maybe more flotation would help keep them floating instead of sinking.
I want to competitively drag race at Dunefest this year.

Oh and the most important part, its an xr650r motor, 680 kit, I havent picked out the stroker kit yet. 14/44 gearing.

Hey I have been looking for some 22" 10 paddle tires. I have a pair of 22" 8 paddle tires. Would you like to trade? I live in Klamath.

Thanks Mike.

Try 21x12x8 6 or 7 pdl extremes.I ran 20x11x9 8pdl haulers,then tried the 7pdl extremes.World of difference.Off the line faster and pulled all the hills with ease.I was blown away.
