The Beast I Drive Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah Ive heard that sand paddles are only good if you can make them spin really fast, otherwise you are better off with some good A/Ts or mud tires. -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigo1966 Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 What are you saying, My subaru dosent have enough power?????????????? We are heading out next saturday, should i go with the 27" all terrians aired down or go with the 32" mud terrians aired down, im thinking that the elevation we are heading to i should stick with the 27"s. they are both the same width 8" and both are 1/4 tread or so. Do you think i should weld the rear end before I head out also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 I would say use the 27" tires aired down, seems to work pretty well for the dunes people. Welded rear end probly wouldnt be a bad idea either -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberoo Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 ATs for sand . dont go with mud tires because they will dig to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Welded diff only makes a difference on steep dune climbs. If its mostly just rolling dunes then open should be fine. I'd stick with the 27's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamCF Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 27"s aired down. I've ran welded and un-welded diffs and really didn't notice a difference for dunes. Though I'm sure a situation could come up where the welded will make the difference. My tires now are about 26". For sand aired down to 10-15psi and I run out of power with the EA81 long before lack of flotation becomes an issue. 15-to 20 psi seems good for general playing around go further down if ya need to. I stuck myself the first time I took my Soob to the dunes being stupid and stopping before the top. Went to go again and found I could not even back back down it. I was at 15psi. I went down to 10psi and was able to drive right out. Gotten about the same results this winter in deep snow with street pressure vs. aired down. This reminds me it's been a couple weeks since I've hit the sand. Should take the Soob out and get it gritty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
