6 paddles are a little low, go with at least 7. Look on Ebay and get something with a "V" paddle and about a 20" tire. Being that you are cluless, be sure to get something with wheels that have the right bolt pattern. Honda is 4X110mm. Majority of paddle tires have 8 paddles, and I have always ran 8 paddles on my 250x and 300ex, so you cant really go wrong, especialy if you get a "V" pattern. Also, tires and wheels advertised for a 250r, 400ex, 300ex, Z400, cannondale, and the Kawasaki 400 will fit.

I have run 8 paddles on everything I have ever owned, and have had NO problems with power. I run 22X11X10 Skat Trak Edges on my wifes 300ex and it pulls with no problem. 6 paddles are meant for a LT80. I run 20X10X10 Skat trak Haulers on my LT250r. 99% of quads run 8 paddles, and 99% of tires sold through classifieds or Ebay are 8 paddles. Many brands don't even offer an option of paddle amounts. Skat Trak is the main one that does.

Have you done any mods to your quad yet. If you have some money, I recommend a White Bros E series pipe and a K&N filter(with outerwear). Jet your quad to about 142 or 145 It really wakes it up. If you drill holes in the air box lid it helps more. This is a really good sand setup. Not as good for really dusty areas. Or, dont drill holes, and just remove the lid for the sand, and put it back on for dirt riding. I did all this to my wifes bike and it is such a different quad. We got it bone stock.

sand moisture affects the amount of paddles a lot.

I have never had a 250x/ex, but I know that my buddies older 300ex ran ALOT better w/ 6 paddle haulers than 8's. I also know my 426ex goes better w/ 7 paddles than 8 paddle.

i'd recommend sand devils for the 250x. THey work better than knobbies in the snow, but they can be damaged by rocks sticks etc.
