How much % of the time are you spending in the dunes?

the reason i bought the tecate was for a dune bike so it will spend 90% of its riding in the sand, i have my 05 bigbear for the muddin and trails.

what size is that mohawk?

23x8x11
i think this is only they guy that has them. he is super nice and will sell you just the tire or wheel and tire combo. or you can send one to skat trak and they will make a tire for you but you have to pay for shipping and than like $40 to have them buff it for you.

call up that guy that i sent you the web site to. when i was looking about a year ago he had three smoothies that he was trying to get rid of becuase nobody wanted them and he was sellin them for like $30 or $40 bucks. see if he still has them and that price after shipping is about what i paid. i know it seems expensive for one tire but it is well worth it.

I run the stock tire on the front, I have used straight paddles and v paddles on my 350x, never have a problem turning, however, my trike weighs more than a two stroke. I just took it out over Thanksgiving to Sand Mountain with straight paddles (big difference over V's), and thought turning would be a nightmare, but it turned just as good as with v's.

It doesn't matter what your running if your tires not on the ground. lol: :lol:
