Sand tire/ paddle tires

[boncrshr]

Just a random question for discussion. I was looking at some paddle tires intended for use in the sand. I wonder if they would swim? Has anyone tried them? If they did you could always put one in the middle...they are really expensive though.

Link for example....

Second random thought....I wonder what Whipper's beast would do with these, since he rides in sand a lot? I noticed when I was making the 12.5 mile run down the beach to our hunting spot, soft sand will really kill your speed. I could hit 23 or 24 (I forget) on the hard pack, and about 13-15 in the soft stuff.....

Not the brand but tread style
I will look into it more but I have seen them for less money

I am curious on how they swim as well

I wanted to ask that same question but as a newbie didnt want to sound stupid..

Man...don't worry....I am still a newbie at this, and I have pulled some doozies! Like the time I thought my T-20 went bad 3 miles back in the woods, pulled a buddies T-20, got all the way back in the woods, and figured out that it was a sheared axle key....nobody made too much fun of me then, so don't sweat it!

I have a pair of paddle tires that I have used on a MAXII . It doesn't really make much of a difference. If you use them on the back axle you get more splash but that's all. If you run on dry ground nobody will follow to closely as they throw dirt roostertails 6 -8 feet behind the machine. Makes for cool effects. Pisses off the people following you.

Thanks for the information on this. I also was always curious about how some paddle tires would work on a 6x6. I wonder how 6 of them would work on a machine that is running on sand dunes.

Hey JP,

Check this tire out........it is a closed chevron pattern.

I almost bought a set of paddles for my argo-8 but settled on some C-828s and some Carlisle Badlands (cause they were cheap)... noone I talked to figured the paddles were durable enough to run on an Argo, but noone I talked to had tried it, so how do they hold up?

Good find, boncrshr! I bet those would work great, and the price is right.

JerseyBigFoot had some on his Scrambler at Copper Ridge a few years ago. I don't think he was running with them on every axle. I did not see them in the pond there. He was having some sort of difficulties with the Scrambler at the event.
