I've driven a few with the buffed tires, I just prefer the razor type or rib front. If it wont work, then I'll need a different rear.

I have a set of 31.5 scats, probably my only complaint is the front smooth buffs, They don't turn very well in the trails, lots of pushing though the turn!

Pushing can be more than paddles. Shock setup plays a big part how the cars enters and exit turns. I love the trails with my skats. I am pretty picky on suspension tho too and try a lot of variences

I think a desert track up front would be better, atleast have a little more bite, and shave off the inner part and leave the outside little blades. Its the outside corner of the tire that in a corner has the most bite. I want the 4x4 to pull me around the corner.

This cut on the front works great for me :big smile:

The smaller Front Rib tires act more as a Pivot point. We call them Pivot tires for that reason. When Duning the Pivot tires make sure you keep both hands on the wheel as it will pull to the side that touches down first and can cause the wheel to turn inward and cause a possible crash. It just happened to a guy that was riding with my Buddies and the Blackbird Front grabbed on a down hill drop and pulled right wheel in and he went Left and Rolled it.

I Like that setup! Thats what I'm going to try out! Instead of warlocks "pivot" tire, I like to call them "Steer" Tires. Steer tires I think work better here in the oregon dunes in the trails etc. Tight full lock turns in a Xrs.

Ive never had a issue with the car coming down and the car yanking to one side or another.

Nope, he did One lap Round the Bowl as my friends were parked and they watched it Front and center as he was going down hill and caught a little Air and touched Front tire first and he had one hand on the wheel as she touched down Front tire first and he couldn't hold it as it was unexpected and next thing he knew was it was Rolling over.

One hand on the wheel. Caught a little air. As in Jumping. I rest my case your honor.

Haha. If your runnin non-planed terrain = 2 HANDS.
One "hand-it" to turn the radio on before puttin on the harness. Riding One "hand-it" is slightly safer than running hoops on a dbike one handed. <=No good. JS :big smile:

That would not happen except for those stupid inside Blades and the directional front steer Rib. To help yank it over.

I would say the one handed driving had a lot more to do with what happen, then the front tires. Two hands would keep the wheel from jerking when landing.

I have had those tributes and I also had them directional cut. If you don't cut them, they have paddles going both ways and would be neutral from a push pull standpoint. By cutting them and making them a left and right only, I can see if you float a little and come down on only one front that it will pull to that side and if you weren't expecting it to pull that way it could, but what would be different then say a 3-rib turning tire landing on one wheel?

Just posting what i found

It is probably in kgs. That would be 24.25 lbs.... more believable.

I know this thread is old but had a couple questions. Im picking up some pro armor paddles ( 30x14x14 rear and 30x11x14 rear). I know they are on the heavy side. I only do one dune trip a season to Pismo which are very small dunes. Should I go with a 14x10 wheel for the rear and 14x8 for the front? Having trouble finding a lot of wheels in those sizes. Do I really need beadlock wheels for the paddles? I figure later down the road I can get skats or stu’s when I start making more trips. I just want something for now that will work better than the stock tires.

Method 406 has 14 x 8, 14 x 10, and it's a beadlock too. So you kind of kill 2 birds with 1 stone, so to speak. JMO, but there are better tires, and might be cheaper than the Polaris Pro Armors.
