You will find that the best sand performance is from using a tire that is taller than your 22" A/T tires. Most go for a 24x11-10 8 to 10 paddle tire for the sand.

I got my new paddles home, supposed to fit my KFXs, and the bolt pattern is too small by a long ways. The tire is a 21-12-8, much smaller diameter and wider rim than the ones on the A/Ts.

Not sure what I'm gonna do, I really wanted paddles on both KFXs this weekend.

I work with the guy i got them from, so getting my money back shouldn't be a problem; he may have just grabbed the wrong set....

What are you planning on using these paddles for? A 21-12-8 paddle on a KFX?

I don't care what size the jockey of the quad is these KFX's need AT LEAST 24" paddles.

If you are able to hold off a little longer, I may have a set of 24" 8-paddle Skat Trak Extemes for sale. It all depends if I am forced to sell my orange V. I will know in 3-4 weeks, I would guess. PM me if you would like me to let you know once I figure out what is going on. There usually aren't too many used sets for sale.

They are the tires on the rear of my green V in my sig pic.

Dave at Fullerton Sand Tires says teh same thing the 24" are the Ticket! now to go either Edges or Haulers for the wifes Quad, he like to put them on 10" wide rims, I hate 10" rims, Pro: Great Floatation, Con: Sand Can Get into The Bead, have to silcone the edges.
I run 9" on the DS and the LT500, Like to see how a set of Comp Grooved SS would work on the V700.
