running paddel tires on dirt

[traxxasx]

i was thinking since there cheap and look awsome and get lot of grip, would it be ok to run some paddel tires on dirt rocky terrain, i live in las vegas so its all dry and some spots are hard and rocky, would it hurt the paddels to run on this kind of terrain?? do any of you guys do this? maybe run a 6ply

[traxxasx]

It would make for a rough ride !!!! i think it would be a waste of money personally.. but don't take my word for it.. that's just my opinion.

Yea, REALLLLLY bumpy. I wouldnt do it unless you were going to ride in alot of sand.

[Rm250RF900R]

Yeah, what are you nuts? LOL, there not made for hard packed dirt.

[brapp]

try a set of realitors if you want paddles and thier made for dirt.

[BigGreenMachine]

If you have the cash to waste on paddles then why not try something in the area of a performance mod?

[traxxasx]

well its not really HARD dirt but it is hard in some spots, the rest is loose. well i dont know of any mods that will cost under 100$. besides a air filter. plus i just want some smaller cheap good tires.

[brapp]

try a set of realitors, good paddle type tire but good on hard dirt and loosedirt also and verry tough tire. her eis a pic of them on my 450r

Yeah try some realitors. The 300ex sitting outside has a pair. Decent snow tire and pretty good on the dirt/mud/sand. If it were mine It would have a pair of knobbies on it though.

waste of money as I see it. You would possibly break off a paddle when riding it around. Maybe check out some Razrs. I had them on my 200x and they hooked up great in anything. Plus they are onli like 60 bucks a piece.

[traxxasx]

yea way to much.

I got a set of used realtors- 22x11x8 (off tri-z)i think if you wana buy em!

[traxxasx]

if they were 20'' i would, i have 22'' and they are to high for my small front tire and i want a smaller size.

but name your price and shipping. to 89108 Las Vegas.

[MTS]

Yikes, shipping would kill ya i think theses are heavy tires...127 bucks Shipping.....wouldnt imagin you would be intrested haha

[NOS_350X]

Ive ran my paddles in the dirt. But just for dragracing. It wears them out FAST, Not worth the $.

[traxxasx]

ok well thanks for all the replies guys. lol canada naw im cool on them lol. anyways i think i will just buy me some 20x11x8 maxxis razrs.

[Tri-ZNate]

you have trail pros. They are absolutly fine for anything except mud (and if las vegas get it, snow). And you can break them free at will. If you want a different tire get some 20 inch wolley boggers or something that is made for dirt and will hook up under any condition.

i seen them on your old sx and i dont like them. i like the holeshots and razrs the flat track look.

realtors are great in hard and loose dirt. i had them on my warrior and they were great all around tires.

[BLAZERONE22]

I've ran these Sand Unlimited tires on sand and dirt up in the high desert of Central Oregon, they work great. Also the old wooly buggers did really well in real loose stuff.

http://rockymountainatv.com has some good prices. If you insist on going for paddles, get a set like BlazerOne22 has, or get a set of Maxxis 4-Snow's. But I reccommend you get a tire that fits your needs like Maxxis Razrs or ITP Holeshots.
