Paddle tire sugestion

[devious700rSE]

if u were to buy new skat extremes would u go with a 20x10x10 9 paddle or 22x11x10 9 paddle for a raptor putting in 60rwhp

22's, 20" sand tires on a raptor turn it into a ditch witch

[Peelz]

I disagree. But if you will be spending all your time drag racing, I totally agree. 

[Colorado700R]

It's not even about drag racing, your bike develops allot of Tq if you slow or stop on an incline with 20" tires, they will dig in. 

Not all sand is equal for sure, but IMO a 22" star or hauler (whatever your preference) works better in the four states I've ridden in than a 20" tire for a 3 mod or better Raptor

[Peelz]

I dont have that issue. If you give it plenty of gas, its fine. But if you try to chug out of the sand slow...it can happen. But Ive done it with 22" tires AND 20" tires the same. Then again...I am nowhere near the hp any of you are making. 

If your engine is big and powerful, My advice may be useless

Most of my dislike for 22" honestly, is how they look. Makes raptors look like blasters.

i ride oregon dunes and had 20inch hauler but now im making 60hp and 50tq like look of 20" but everyone is saying 22 10 8

I agree with Aaron.

22" has a bigger footprint to aid in flotation.

Function 1st looks 2nd.

[Colorado700R]

Seggy needs to weigh in for your area. But it seems you guys in the Northwest run allot more paddle and tires than in other areas.

That being said, I do know that 22's will be better in treeshoots without a doubt.

I would get 21x12x8 7pdl for 60hp general duning.

I've got 8 pdl for my 80hp and I think its a bit much.

Bert hates me 

I'm not saying form over function. I'm saying total package. For what they cost, they beter have it all.... And the 22" tires really didnt do all that much for me. At the end of the day, I really dont think theres a huge difference between them if youre all around duning. Racing...sure. Just don't over paddle... 

[devious700rSE]

so what im getting out of this is all preference in opinion to what i should do... So lets reword this if you already had some wheels that were 10" would u sell those to get 8" or keep the 10" and go with a normal 20x10x10

Yes, sell the 10" wheel.  10" rims just flat out suck. They dont allow any side wall bite, no ballon effect. Unless your going with a 22"+ (74ro) hauler I do not like anything over a 9" wheel. I had 20x11x9 sand stars and they are great for blasting the dunes, but when it came time to hill climb, or drag race the kinda sucked.

Also a 8" wheel with a 22"ish tire will offer more rim protection, allowing you to get by with a .125 wheel. I ran a set of 22" haulers on .125 wheels and never bent a wheel even with plenty of jumping and trail carving.

If you order a set of 21x12x8 haulers from RMATV they come in right a 67ro which is about 20" tall.

[Segkast]

how long is your swinger ?

I'd say ideally 22x11x8. Maybe 21x12x8 if you find a deal. I personally wouldn't consider 20's unless you're only going once.

as far as paddles, if you're looking at extremes I'd do maybe a 7 paddle for a stock swinger, maybe 8's for a +2/+4, and 9's for a +6

stock swinger

Hate is a Strong word  Peels
Its just a general dislike for Iowania's     

20" tires will dig ditches agreed?
