Dune Tires ?

[quadnut]

I fixxing to make a trek to the sand dunes and was wondering what you guys thought about the Skat Trak Edges ?? I`m runnin haulers now but have a chance to pick up a set of Edges cheap ! I don`t see many of the regular dune riders on here runnin them ! Any reason ? Oh crap I frickin posted this in the wrong section Sorry guys !!LOL late nite

I'm curious too

I had ITP Sand Stars for a long time before I bought some haulers, kinda close I guess. The v paddles LOVE to slide, almost too much for me, but they were a blast as far as just goofing around in the flat stuff. I ride mostly cruising through the dunes and only occasionally drag racing, but I like the haulers a lot better and will not be going back.

Edges are pretty good tires. They work great for what they are built for. I really like Sand Stars w/ 8in rims. The 10" rims suck balls.

The 10" rims suck balls.

Just curious, Why?

The rims are heavy.. They really suck the power out of your bike. Trust me.. 8" rims w/ give more tire to float on top of the sand.

damn, i just bought 10 haulers

 

[want2bfast]

10's suck balls sorry. Thats my opinion.

 

[KansasTRX450R-Rider]

i might have to sell or trade em.. ill see how the work first tho

 

[want2bfast]

when you use them borrow a buddies to swap so you can feel the difference..

I run them in a 20-10-8 on my ltr and they arnt a bad tire, just don't expect to win any drag races with it. I like them becouse they are a very predictable tire, especially for jumping. My gliders like to kick my a little sideways at the lip sometimes but the edge shoots me streight almost every time. Hope this helps

What are the edges built for ? My haulers are 8" and the edges are 8" also !

I like personally think that the edge is more of a jumping, duning tire. It is easier to turn/slide with a v paddle than a streight paddle. A streight paddle is better for hill shooting and dragging. I run 14 paddle gliders on my Honda and I love them. I run them on the ltr sometimes and I can tell it runs a lot quicker up the hill with them, but it's really squirlie on the jumps. What kind of riding do you plan on doing?

You've already got arguably the best all round duning tire and size.. I'd stick with that..
