Paddle Tire Riding
toddwunsch:
I searched Dennis Kirk and found (2) two tires w/ 10 paddles for 19" wheels. Both are 110 width and 90 aspect ratio. In stock and go for about $57.

14-50 works really well.

(See Above)...First off, it wasn't a paddle that came off...Hello! But a paddle tire broke my shock splash guard since I send it so far-and at full compression, paddles tend to smack up against the tiny plastic thing -a-majiggy that protects the shock spring and airbox; hence, letting sand fly up into the engine, via the airbox and destroying the piston and cylinder... oh, and locking up the rear tire at about 85 mph. Anyway, Banshee's have a great Yamaha 350 cc twin bred road racing engine based on a very old engine, but the KX 500 will kill it even with just a sand knobby. For sand-if you are willing to send it to the moon, stock gearing works just great. Nothing like a 4th gear dune jump at Glamis!

I just got my first Paddle tire for my KX. I got it with an entire rim, hub, sprocket, and what have you. So, I can just slip it on. Thinking of using it when it gets muggy and soggy and at a local drag here. I can't wait to try it. It has a Hooker on it, with 10 paddles. Curious what it would be like on the grass? Any thoughts?
