Sand Paddles

[Auto_Demon]

I recently bought sand tires and i dont know if they are supposed to be lined up on either side. Like when they are bolted on the paddles dont line up on each tire, are they supposed to?

[dcreel]

Yes, they should be lined up. If you can't line the paddles up using the hub studs you can unbolt the hub and "fine tune" using the hub splines to line the paddles up.

[acidburn]

yes they are suppose to line up, use your valve as a marker line.

[Auto_Demon]

well mine are pretty close to being lined up like maybe an inch off. another question, how much ware woud i do if i use these on grass, gravel and dirt? my tires ar 22x11x8 kenda dune runners.

Wear on what? Your tires, suspension, legs or bum? Because all four will be affected if you run paddles on HARD grounds :D

[Auto_Demon]

how long and how much ware on my tires would happen if i ride my sand tires on gravel grass dirt?

[acidburn]

why would u want to drive sand tires on gravel and dirt? i'd imagine they would wear wayyy to fast

[RubberSalt]

Expect 1/2 to 1/3 the life out of them. Except them to find a nice sharp buddy to pop them very very fast.

wel i had to use them on gravel and that for a day until i could change rims. cuz i bought the sand tireS with rims just cuz of the rims, mine were trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro and to buy just rims off the internet would be $200 after everything and i got tires and rims for $150

yea they are a specialized tire only meant for very loose, fine gravel and sand type materials. Anything else and you risk tearing a paddle off or puncturing them. They are thinner than normal tires as well which will result in easier punctures. If you plan on using them at all in the sand I would NOT ride them anywhere except on the sand. But they are your tires so feel free to do whatever you feel is necessary.
