I run them with 7 lbs of air and I can make it to the top of Olds. By far the best sand tire combination I have seen for a stock to fairly stock Rhino are Skat Traks. On of out group has a stock 4 seater with 25" 7 paddle in the rear and smooth up front mounted on a douglas style wheel. He blew by everyone getting up Patton hill. He takes it out in some of the heavier dunes with no problems. I think one of the biggest things is that they are super lite. 06' Maier plastic, B&A Cage, PRP Seat & Covers, CDI, K&N, Clutch Kit, RAIS, Stainless Tip, 26"Bighorns on 12" Series 7s    Report

I told him I wanted the best tire for the open dunes, out in the big bowls. He makes two sizes of rear paddles for the Rhino, a 25x10.5x12, and a 26x12x12. He said that either size would work far better if mounted on the widest lightweight billet wheels you can get (a 7" wide wheel doesn't work nearly as well). And when mounted on the wide wheels the 26" rear paddle actually ends up being 25" tall, but it has a wider rounder profile that works better. I ordered a set of 8 paddle extremes mounted on the 10" wide billet .190 douglas wheels just last week. Haven't got them yet, so I'll have to let you know how they work.    Report
