Either will work just fine. The differences between the two is very minimal.

If you can afford a brand new YFZ450, why not spring for Skat-Trac's. 20x10x10 8-paddles Haulers on 0.125 and you will be a god.

Yeah you can. I want to the dunes the first few times w/out them on a 400ex. You will be fine, you won;t win any races against other 450's w/ paddles. I have alot of fun int he dunes w/ out paddles, your rear end is going to be really loose! Its fun!

I woudl bet that there is not a hill you can;t make. There is only about 2-3 different hills I can think of at our dunes that you can;t make it up on stockers. I think we have pretty big hills too.

paddles for sure!!!
going to glamis without paddles is like going to the beach with pants on, it just plain sucks. well, not that bad. u definately wont regret going with paddles but without them, your experience will be less than on par with if u did. id buy them now, ecspecially if this if your first time - it sure as hell wont be your last.
good luck.

no regrets to buying paddles, except you missed a sweat deal on another set.

I spent last weekend climbing Sand Mountain Nevada with my stock Dunlops.
Made it up most everything.

Let me know your tire/wheel budget. I have some Douglas .160s w/ 20x10x10 extremes that I'm just not using. They're in great shape - I switched to .125 & 21's.

I will be going to the dunes for the first time ever on Halloween. Do I need rear paddle tires or will the stock tires work? There is enough info on this forum to answer which paddle I should go with so all I really need to know is if they are needed. Has anyone been to the dunes with stock rear tires?
Thanks

How did you do on hill climbs?

Would I be able to make it up them with the V paddles or would I have to have the straight blade paddle?

Thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll just get paddles. Sounds like it will be easier to climb hills with which is probably what I'll be doing most.

Yeah, I think I will. I'll probably be getting some ITP Sand Stars. Unless someone has something to say about them. Anyone running them and are they any good?

I blew most of my extra cash on exhaust and jetting so I couldn't afford the Haulers I just ended up getting the Sand Stars. I guess I'll see how they do on Halloween. Hopefully they are at least decent in the sand. They still won't be as good as the Haulers though.BR>
