From Skat more expensive?

And whatya mean they don't carry ITP? (wheels???)

Yeah, skats site is more.  And I want them mounted on itp rims....so it matches the rims on the front.

Gotcha..

I'll talk to my friend out in cali when I'm there.  Maybe he can hook me up with something shipped to my house.

I suppose you're hoping to get something before silver lake in 2 weeks?

I recently purchased mine from cycle sports in salem, or.  They were not to bad on the price for the hauler extremes.

Did you purchase them/have them shipped or are they local  to you?

I've never used anything but my Skat's, and even with stock front tires,  I had no trouble turning. Maybe because there 20x10x10's instead of 8's? Don't know, but they work perfect for me. :thumbs:
So many upgrades, so little money.

I have ran just about every tire combination you can think of from 8-12 pdle Edge's to 8-12 pdl haulers to 8-12 pdl extremes, in both 20-10-10, and 22-11-8sizes,  and what I found is if you like to race more then a 22-11-8 extreme in an 8 or 10 pdl works very well for a mid 60 hp bike. An 8-10 pdl Hauler works well on a 50+hp bike in a 20-10-10. the 8" wheel gives you a better "wrinkle wall" effect but you cant whip the ass around as well as a 10"wheel due to the flex of the sidewall. All of my tires are "tripple Buffs" or ultralight bead to bead buffed. I trail ride the hell out of them and just watch out for tree roots ect....  Skats are not cheap. My last set on 8" wheels cost 400 bucks.  I have a set of douglas .125 8" rears if you need wheels. I also have a set of ITP C series wheels I have been thinking of getting rid of as they are way too heavy for my application and I ride sand only. You might try SMI in oregon. I dont have contact info but if you PM Sub454 or RaptorRandy on RF I think they can hook you up. Hope this is helpful for you :thumbs:

Nice write up Frank.  Thanks.

I got a killer deal on a set of 20x10x10 8 paddle haulers.  So I'll try those out, if thats not enough I might try the 10 paddle extremes.

Erich, do me a favor since I am testing out the venom piston for ya, you should have your sand stars shaved and tell me how it does. There is some guys over at ATVTECH.net that did that with great results.
Just a little 81hp trail bike.
