you don't have to do anything with the front tire. i have run a 10 paddle(skat-trak)...destroyed it in a day..went with a cheap 8 paddle and haven't had any issues. go cheap, cuz the 5hundo shreds paddles...gear a little taller also. have fun

When you put a paddle tire on the rear of a KX5 you don't need a front tire, because it is never on the ground!

I have 2 sets of wheels, the stock MX wheels, and a stock set that I will mount sand tires on. I bought AMS Sand Snake tires front and rear. I have not mounted them yet or used them. So I can't give you a thumbs up or down. Here's a site if you want to look at them.

I run an 8-blade turbo paddle; it get great traction yet spins enough to turn well too. The ribbed front is the bomb! It adds a whole new dimension to turning in the sand.
