Packard Performance Sand Light Rear Paddle Tire — Standard / HO

Standard or HO?

• Standard: 1 1/16-inch paddle height. Packard lists this option for stock machines through approximately 250–300 HP.
• HO: 1 5/16-inch paddle height. Packard recommends the taller paddle for machines over 250 crank HP.

The recommendations overlap. Vehicle weight, gearing and wheel width also affect the right choice.

Choose your size and preparation

• 31x15-15 and 32x15-15 Standard: uncut or comp cut.
• 33x15-15 Standard: uncut.
• 32x15-15 HO and 33x15-15 HO: uncut.

In the comp-cut selector, No means uncut and Yes means comp cut. Sold per tire. All listed sizes use a 15-inch wheel.

Comp-cut details

Packard lists an approximate 7–8 lb reduction per rear tire where comp cutting is offered. Removing carcass material increases puncture risk and can cause small air leaks or exposed threads. Avoid rocks and wooded terrain; tires with cut-through threads must be replaced.

Packard states that comp-cut tires have no warranty, exchanges or refunds. Its preparation guidance calls for 8 oz of liquid starch per tire. Confirm the current instructions for your selected tire; third-party cutting can affect lead time.

Fit the complete setup

Sand Light carcasses measure approximately one inch shorter than their printed size. Packard recommends 8–10 PSI. Match actual tire dimensions, approved wheel width and front-to-rear rolling circumference to your drivetrain; verify steering and suspension clearance.

Tell R1 your machine, power level, front tire size and wheels. We can help narrow down the combination before your next dune trip.
