how good are holeshots in soft sand? i had a set of dunlop 537A on my 200x and they did good in the sand, but i put them on my tri-z and all it does is spin.

i like the look of the holeshots and im want to put a set on my z, but i want a tire that does good in the sand, and on trails, because i do both. any help?

i was afraid some1 was gunna say that :-/

i didnt see the point in buying paddles because i dont do much dune riding as there isnt many pits around here.. so i was looking for a good hybrid tire...

we are lookin into moving to arizona, THEN i will get paddles lol

Get a set of rear tyres that come stock on the new modern 4-stroke quads,they work good in the sand

Scorpions are a good tyre for both terrains. I had a set of 8". They look a little "gumby" though.

Holeshots suck in sand and creak beds

When comparing paddles to nobbies The nobbies suck

but for a nobbie in the sand, Hoeshot, Turf tamer, Klaw, Razr All are good choices.

The stock TRX450 tires are good (For sand), they come on z400's too.

I wouldnt go as far as to say knobbies suck because i just bought a set of expensive N.O.S discontinued "Dunesliders" for my trike. These are a paddle which offer more drive than a nobbie yet allow the rider the ability to slide and corner, more so than a regular paddle and yet..... I dont think they're that fantastic. There doesnt seem to be the control that i had with my "el cheapo" Scorpions. If you slide these tyres past a certain angle your almost certain to loose control and wipe out. Just my opinion though.
