Effigy3 1267 Posted April 18, 2017 I have always mounted the sand paddles on my Grasshoppers in this direction but I see people mounting them the other way all the time. Is this the "proper" way? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Munchbox 100 Posted April 18, 2017 Scoop forward so when they run forward they scoop up the dirt and spray it out the back. Otherwise what's the point, might as well run chevrons at that rate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see so many people who mount them the other way 'round though I started to doubt my logic. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Munchbox 100 Posted April 18, 2017 Truth be told with a tire like that it probably doesn't make a huge difference. Kind of like aluminum servo mounts, etc. Do they make sense as an upgrade? Yes. Do they make enough of a difference to notice for the average basher? Maybe. Now if we were talking about a proline sand paw, maybe it's a little too much grab the right way around. Swapping it might ease up on that a bit I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THE SMOOTHEE 56 Posted April 18, 2017 @Effigy3 As you have them mounted in your picture, is the correct way. If you pay close attention to the manual, it also shows the mounting direction quite clearly. These are true directional tyres. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Country Mike 120 Posted April 19, 2017 Mounted the other way then they'd probably not wear as quick on tarmac. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
