Skat Trak will use whatever carcass they can get for cheap since they are taking the knobs off anyway..

I've heard the Brats in a 6 paddle comp cut. They will also set you back 325-350 for a set on wheels.. This is for pure drag/hillshooting. They are very thin and would puncture easily out in the dunes just like an Ultra/Triple Buff Hauler or Glider..

I am now running a Bead to bead buff 8 paddle Glider. Gliders hook, they slide for turns, and they rev. The ultimate tire IMO.. Oh they leave NO roost for your riding buddies to eat all day unless you like making your friends miserable.... No other tire leaves as little as a roost and those big angled Geckos, Edge, Sand Stars leave a roost to virtually blind you. Your filter gets to eat all that sand also..

The best Bang for the Buck is Sand Devils.. Not so heavy, indestructible, and cheap at about 130 a set..

Do you know how heavy the hauler ultralights are?

Cascade calls them Superlights

They are 11lbs ea w/ rim.. I ran a set once. It is unreal how they perform.. They just rev and rev becasue of the unsprung weight.. I ran a 10 paddle UL Glider that my friend happen to have.. WOW!! I have a video of that quad w/ those exact tires.. It's the Glamis out front of Mr. Yoshi.. The Yoshi would take that quad down easily now..
