I bought some Sand Stars and they are pretty good. But next time I'll be going with the Haulers.

I think that Haulers (The single wide paddle design) would be pretty badass, but also, Geckos and Paddle Masters look like they'd be nice...

geckos are very heavy tires, and i never heard of paddle masters. run 20 inch 10 paddle haullers and hold on, in a straight line when you nail the gas its like runnin on pavement, and man they roost some good.

I never heard of paddle masters.

Open up any recent ATV Action magazine and look at tire dealer ads. They're a Hauler-looking design, but feature 1 big paddle and 1 split paddle (i.e. 2 small half-paddles), and those alternate. You know, big-small-big-small-etc. And I think they have about 4 or 5 big paddles, making it equivalent to an 8 or 10 paddle Hauler type tire.

Oh yeah, and Aerospeeds look nice too. They're like Haulers but have reinforced paddles with crossmembers.

If you think Gekos are heavy then the paddlemasters WAY too heavy. Haulers are by far the best paddle for draggin, there are some other stratight paddle that can keep up but haulers are the best. No v blade paddle will even touch them in a drag race.

extreme haulers are the lightest
paddlemasters are heavy for mud, snow, heavier than a holeshot type tire!

You would be suprised, I beat a shee in a drag with gecko's. They got the holeshot on me, then I passed them in 4th gear. But for what he wants to do 9 paddle extreme haulers on an 8 inch wheel will do the trick.

9 paddle would be a little to much for that machine. go with 8 paddles.
