    Are you looking for one tire for both drags and dunes? For a good drag tire I would say Zippers or anything similar, like say 4 snows and the like.
    At Trikefest drags I seen alot of them on some real fast trikes. I can't help you in the dune side, never had the opportunity to ride in them.

    no dunes i only have sand tracks around here. im doing straight sand drags. i need something that will hook up but not to the point it will drop my rpm's too much. im liking the 4 snow though.they are probably what im gunna get.

    thanks for the info it is helpful.

    Your paddles need to be matched with the performance of your bike. What bike are you looking to put these one? Are you looking for a tire that you can use for both dirt and sand?

    look for some puresport realtors, flip them on way for sand, flip them the other for dirt. we used them on 750 kawi and they worked great. I know they don't make them any more, but I've seen a bunch used.
