SandCraft Destroyer "Sliders"
What we tested:
32" 12 paddle Sandcraft RCR Destroyer "Sliders" (HP Rating 150-215hp)
The newer generation of the old Talon/Demon paddle line up is here in the form of the Destroyer by Sandcraft! We were able to test these "sliders" out in the Oregon Dunes and they definitely live up to their name!
Right out of the gate we saw more wheel spin and higher rpm's, and the tires felt very predictable for the type of riding we were doing. We were over powered for these tires but that made it that much more fun to drive! The open dunes was an absolute blast to slide around and know that when we pressed the throttle down at any point we could pull right out of a slide without the fear of too much side bite and a roll over. Like we said they were very predictable and very fun to drive.

The area we were camped in had a longer ashpalt and gravel drive to get to the dunes and the paddles held up extremely well with zero peeling, and very little if any wear over the week of testing we did. This is a huge improvement over some of the other paddle tires out there on the market today.
For the limited time we did test these tires (5day dune trip) we absolutely had a blast with them. Definitely need to try the right set for the SxS's power in the future and Sandcraft very clearly lays this out for you before you order them (unless you get in a hurry like I did and screw up).

Pros: Predictable feedback of the tire which made for a great driving experience. Solid construction and paddle compound is tougher then years past which will undoubtedly lead to longer life of the tire.
The only negatives I could find were directly related to me ordering the wrong tire from the get go. The ones I ordered were a little too loose in the rear end on the whoop roads at higher speeds, and I couldn't pull wheelies on command with so much wheel spin.
If your looking for a tire that you can set up your corners, slide into them, mash the skinny pedal, and slide all the way through it with peace of mind knowing your tire will pull you out of it I would highly recommend the "Sliders" by Sandcraft.
