Paddle Tires

[redone76]

I'm planning on heading up to Oceano Dunes next month for the Old School Buggy Reunion and I only have dirt tires on the rear of my buggy. A good buddy kicked me down a set of old paddles he had but one tire he ran flat and pretty much destroyed. So I'm looking for a good used 13.50 X 15 paddle tire. Using the power of RDP does anyone have a tire laying around they would be willing to make a deal on? Thanks in advance!

I've been tryin bud. Browsing CL right now as a matter of fact! Thought I'd toss it on here as RDP hasn't let me down yet

Beware on buying some used paddles they age and the rubber gets brittle. If you see any chunks missing the rest will soon follow. Usually a set will last 5-6 year.

Are those Cepeks? Plan on having to run tubes. I might be able to help you out.

They might be? Tires are pretty scrubbed so its hard too read. I have no problems with running a tube. Let me know what you have. Thanks!

I did find these. Talking with the guy now. I didn't mention I have a corvair buggy and I made an adapter to mount a VW Wide 5 wheel. These would eliminate the need for an adapter.

Cant beat the price. Maybe need tubes but thats no big deal.

I've gotten missed match Cepeks 1300 , and 1450. Haven't been used in 15 years. So I'm going to assume that their crap. They have tubes in them. I'll have to dig them up when I get home.

Hell that 1300 should work for a day in the sand! Lemme know what you find. Thanks!

I’m still working on them. Tough SOBs. I happened across these paddles that are 16.50x15s on corvair wheels for $50 on Craigslist. Couldn’t pass that deal up!

Loaded up and ready for Pismo. Heading out Friday am. Quick question for the experienced guys. What’s a good psi to run in these paddles for the sand. No bead locks on her

What's in front of you? Same color as mine.

Did you see my brother. RedManx Chrome roll bar, Chrome star wheels.
I ask because I heard at the last minute he may have gone to Bonneville.

Lots of manxs as there was well over 250 buggies and rails. My pile started to act up about a 1/3 into the parade and I broke down. I tucked my tail, put it on the trailer and started drinking beers.

@coolchange is this your brother? Found that my points burned up. Charged the battery and cleaned the points. Hit the beach this morning and the buggy redeemed itself!

No that's a lobo with a Volkswagen. She sent some pictures looks like the car is more orange than red. Looks like a ton of people were there.
Looks like totally back in the day, sorry I missed it.

 

[redone76]

It was impressive how many people were there. I was bummed I missed out on most of it due to a set of points...[emoji849]
And there was only around 5 corvair powered buggy’s
