What size paddle tires should I get. My stock tires are 22", but almost all the sand paddles are 20". Rocky Mountains catalog has two tires that come in 21" or 22" but they are quite a bit more expensive.

Well, since you have a big gun exhaust, you could probably pull haulers right? if you do those, you should get like 20x10x10 8 paddle. If you dont want to spend so much money, you can get like Sand Devils, they are straight paddles, too. With a 250EX, i dont think you will have to worry about turning capability, because it doesnt really want to pick the front tires up too bad everytime you hit the throttle, right?

I would defiantly go with the Skat~Tack Haulers in a 20x10x10-8 paddle. I run those on our 400ex and I find that to be the most popular set up for dune riding. You can go with the other molded rubber brands of paddles but they just don't seem to hook up as well as the Haulers, so if you can swing the money it's worth it!

My son is runing 20x11x8 Sand Sharks on his and he can go anywhere he wants to and the tires seem to hook up good and they cost alot less than the Skat traks. Plus its the same style of tire we all have on our quads except for the 90, Skat Trak was the only maker of a 18 inch paddle for it.

Thanks everyone,
Well I went the cheap route. Ordered the 20X11X8 Sand Sharks for my 250EX and my wife's Recon. My daughter's getting 18X9.5X8 gliders for her TRX90. I can't wait till she grows into my 250. I'm thinking I might need a Suzuki Z400. Anyway, thanks for the help. BTW, got the .160 douglas rims too.

I use the Skat Trac 20x10x10 8 paddles and I love them. They have lasted me two years so far and have far to go before they wear out. The 20x10x10's have less sidewall flex and give a sturdy ride.
