Title: 2015 Paddle Tire Feedback
Post by: DoldGuy on July 02, 2015, 02:28:37 PM

Seeking reviews on the latest paddle tires (this decade  :-D). I am familiar with the Cheng Shin 5.60 10 paddle / 5.30 8 paddle 18 inchers that I'm happy with, not so much with their 19 inch. I NEED a 19 inch that really hooks, not really concerned with longevity. Any & all feedback would be appreciated.

I run a Kings turbo 8 cup in the dunes.  Hooks good rides good. Fly's good..  You can spin it with the k5 which my bike of actually faster up the hill (drag) than it was with the 12cup skat viper kevlar enforced.   Due to the fact you can leave in ah higher gear and run higher gearing and leave harder without it just wanting to go over backwards...

But if I was setting a bike up for drags,  the skat viper would work good,    since the suspension would be set for just drags...... (lowered front end, extended swing arm. etc)

I sold that viper recently...  If I still had it I'd send it to you...  To late.
