I like how the 32s look wider. That is really my only gripe about the 31.5s is how skinny they look.

I just ordered through tims wife kelly. Mine were special order 14 ripper staggers. He just stocks what sells and anything else is a special order. People that have started runners staggered can tell the difference and now it's a following. Lol

Did you go with a 14" or 15"? I'm thinkin 15" but not if I have to wait that long.

I went 14's. Sidewall is a good thing. Heck i bought a brand new pickup with 18s, sold them and bought 17s. Way better ride

Warlock can one change out their skinny 31.5" rears to these 32s and still run the 31.5" fronts? Dont really want to replace all 4 and have no issue with the 31.5" fronts. Also looking for more bite/paddle than the 10 paddle on my current 31.5".

Are the new 32s all going to be staggered? Or will some come with a full paddle? I want to go with a full, but will settle with staggered if that's all.

You can build. Them to suit what ever you desire. There's a blade at Skat Trak called a wider Glider and it's 14" long if I remember right and since it's longer and therefore had more surface area its a little shorter than the Extreme Blades. But they charge more money for each one since it's a new mold. You can ask Tim about those if your interested in them.

I owned a 12 F450 4x4 with 17s so they would air down and flex to go over the sand and the new 450 only comes with the 19.5 which I hate the ride and you cannot air down so I went back into a new 17 F350 dually that has the 17s.

You can run the 32s on the rear but you need to get some with less Roll out than the front or equal Roll out to work with 4wd properly.

^ Does it really matter since the front drive ratio is different from the rear?

What is the difference in traction between the staggered vs full paddle?
Why would someone choose one vs the other…. Please educate me

 

[mgrotel]

The stagger has never made any sense to me. To me it seems backwards. It seems you would want more paddle on the side of the tire for the holeshot (more paddle in the sand from a dig) then less paddle in the center (less paddle in the sand as the tire gets taller and skinnier at speed).

That's a loaded question. Lots of preferences and variables. I like a narrow wheel 6" or 7" so the tire is stood up and skinny. With staggered paddles wrapping around into the sidewall. it helps out of the hole (launch or takeoff) yet at speed is only riding on the center 4 or 5" inches. If you have 10 pdl straight and 10pdl staggered on the same wheels in soft sand staggered will hook harder. Yet same rolling resistance when moving at speed.

Too many ways to skin a cat. We will all end up in the same place just not as fast as each other. 10 paddle straight has the same amount of paddles in the sand at speed as 10 paddle staggered. No difference when you up and on top. Just has a wide contact area at takeoff

I can't believe I am getting into this again on here, but I disagree. If you have 2 tires, everything the same ie number of paddles, roll out, etc, but the only difference is straight paddles and staggered paddles, the amount of paddle in the sand at speed will be equal between the two. From a dig, the straight paddle will have MORE paddle in the sand since it has paddle on both sides of the tire in the sand when the tire is more flat shaped. The stagger only puts you at a disadvantage. Some say well just add paddles, but you can do that with straight paddles too and be even better off.

I've ran skats on everything I've owned over 25yrs. I may not be god like warlock but I have what works and I ain't afraid to spend another 2k next month when 33s come out either. Lol. I remember getting into an air pressure debate on skats too and remember hearing let air out to hook up yet that is false too. Lol

Mongrel, the 10 and 12" mexi wheels you guys run on your straights down south may be why you believe what you say. Hehe

Ok, I am not hear to bicker but I have had hour long phone conversations and a pretty extensive convo on here about this and have yet to have anyone convince me the stagger is better out of the hole. Lets just look at the picture in the quote for example. Lets compare the two tires on the right in the picture. One is a straight paddle and one is a staggered paddle. Lets look at the paddle in the middle directly facing the camera on both tires. Now imagine that paddle being in the sand on a machine at rest, ie not moving. All of the straight paddle will be in the sand. Now imagine the same for the staggered one. Part of the staggered paddle, on the right side, wont even be in the sand, while there will be part of the tire on the left side of that staggered paddle that will just have the buffed tire in the sand since the paddle is in fact staggered to the side. So with the staggered paddle, you have part of the paddle not even grabbing any sand at all, and the other side that has wasted space where a paddle would normally be grabbing sand.

I will agree, at speed the two are equal and only the center part of the tire touches sand and both are the same in that regard.

I use CMS wheels, 7" front and 8" rear

If you run skinny wheels, like I do, then the tire gets taller with less sidewall in the sand. So tell me, why in the hell would you want a stagger that pushes the paddle to the side of the tire when that part of the paddle will never see sand? Its unnecessary rolling resistance at that point.
