Depends on what atv your using. If your running a small bore 4 stroke, or a stock or lightly modified blaster, both of those tires will be hard for these machines to turn. Dune sliders or trekkers work best for these machines.

What quad are they on? No matter what kind of quad it is, I wouldn't run either of those tires. Tell us what your doing, what you want to do, and what they are going on. [img]images/graemlins/givemebeer.gif[/img]

Was that for me [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], those are the only ones that really work good for anything under the performance level of a 400ex.

I love skat-trak, haulers for the shee and 250r [img]images/graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

You can run a low paddle hauler or a glider on one of those bad boys! [img]images/graemlins/givemebeer.gif[/img]

I agree with audiman, gecko tires don't live up to the hype, everytime I go to my local dealer, all I hear from the salespeople is how much better the gecko's are than haulers, and anyone who knows sand knows that there are only two choices, v- paddle for turning, and straight paddle for better straight line performance, aside from paddle design, I never hear anyine talk about air pressure. if you put a little more air in a set of haulers, they will slide more, like an edge (v- shaped from skat trak) but no matter what you do to the edges they can't stay with the haulerson the hill so I always recomend haulers, just change the amount of paddles, and the psi to suit your style. I run 20x10x10 eight paddle haulers in the rear, and 22x8x10 dune trackers up front on my raptor. [img]images/graemlins/AR15firing.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]
