    Sand Tire Revisit

    What is a good sized sandtire to go with for '85 250r with the norm. mods?
    I was thinkin stock of 20x11-9 or so.
    I know everyone think the haulers are good tires, but I need to know about paddle design. I know the straight blades are real good for climbing, but what about side-hilling. I probably spend more time going sideways than I do up and down. How do the V-blades and straight blades compare while siding. Do the v's really keep you from slipping, and are the straights really that slick? Then again, I want to be able to point at a hill and go straight up it too, can I still do that just fine with the v's?
    Any help would be appreciated.
