Sand Devils are the best bang for the buck. 125 bones on 160's from RMATV.. We run Sand Mtn and huge bowls. We have run them back to back against Haulers of the same size and paddle. No difference in rpm or speed on the hill, by seat of the pants anyway. I did the same test on Choke Cherry Hill also on two quads. My different friend and I felt no difference on either machine...Haulers will chunk out much much faster and will cost alot more then a molded tire like a Sand Devil. My Devils are wearing from repeated time on hard clay to the dunes and hard clay trails between the dunes. One good thing is they won't just chunk out and lose a paddle like a Hauler. They wear down a little at a time to the heigth of a Glider and wear down more as time goes on. Time being how much you use them or how hard you are on them on surfaces other then deep soft sand. I would of went through 2-3 sets of Haulers by now.. I can't remember what paddles come stock on a Glamis quad, but whatever they are they are a V blade and they blow for any type of speed contest.. Good for about a 2-3k rpm drop in speed on Sand Mtn as we tested lasted week on an ATK 450..Good for turning though no doubt about that.. My 02..

I agree with JSYI. I got a pair and they suck. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra $$ on some Sand Stars. I wish I had.

Scale 1-10 how well do they perform on sand?

Well i'm not going to be putting them on the yfz or banshee... I'd be putting them on the blaster (since i finallly decided to switch out those crappy dune sliders that came with them)

Thanks for the input... decided to get Sand Sharks for the blaster... good tires... much better than those dune sliders that came with it...

i have heard nothing but bad about sand devils. if you want straight paddles go with haulers, everyone seems to like them. as for v paddles, i have heard good things about sand stars.

My friend bought his wife a rappy and the dealer gave him a set of them. They were ok but I think it was because the raptor can turn them really fast without the wieght being a problem. If I was to buy I'd get haulers or sand stars, sand stars is what I run on my Z
