has anyone used the sand viper paddle tire? the come in an 11 and a 13x15 they are kind of cheap, well cheaper than others..

are they worth a crap?

i've noticed that they weigh about 34 or so pounds compared to a similar padla trak 1300 weighing in at 25 or so pounds

have you owned these? did they fall apart the first time you took them out?

give me some feedback...as soon as my new motor gets done i'm gonna need some better tires then the terra's i have now

I am running the 13" Sand Vipers on my sandrail. Yes they are heavier, but also much more durable. The light weight paddles have super flimsy side walls, and many need tubes very quickly as a result. I have no complaints so far, and the bite has been exceptional.

Zar, how long have you been running those? what kind of power are you pushing those with?

i looked in your photos, are those tires on your yellow buggy in the pics?

and one other question, what size rim are they on?
