why would you want a bead 2 bead buff if you are not a all drag racer i do not run bead 2 bead buff all the time unless i am going out to drag race i would stay with reg. old haulers just my .02 :thumb:
Bead 2 Bead skat traks are not necessarily for drag racing. Bead 2 Beads are not lightened. All they do is buff the sidewall of the tire, removing any manufacturer information, size and generally cleans up the look. It is basically cosmetic. I run them becuase I like the look and they only cost a little bit more than standard.
"Ultralights" or "Triple buffs" on the other hand are significantly lightened and very thin in the sidewall. It is very common for them to have cord showing and they are not good for general duning. You can run them but they will cut very easily.
Fullerton Sand Sports in southern california is a great resource for info and they stock a ton of bead to beads. Very nice guys to deal with.
Oh, and I'm running 21x12x8 8 paddle extremes and I love them. But I'm told that we like more paddle here in the northwest.
