Overview
The GMZ Race Products 28x15R14 Sand Stripper Paddle (part number MRWSS281514RHP) is a UTV tire for deep sand, built for a 14-inch rim. It uses GMZ’s Deep Cut Paddle (DCP) tread, which GMZ designs for modern performance machines.
The tread has fourteen large paddles. The HP paddle is 28.5 mm (1.125 inches) deep and the XL paddle is 22.2 mm (0.875 inches) deep. The extra-wide footprint adds flotation and smooth transitions over dunes, and the 6-ply bias construction is designed for durability. The tire is made to pair with a Sand Stripper front tire for steering precision.
Key features
- Deep Cut Paddle (DCP) tread with fourteen large paddles
- Extra-wide footprint for flotation and smooth dune transitions
- 6-ply bias construction that GMZ says prevents punctures
- Rim Guard Material (RGM) keeps sand out of the bead and protects the wheel lip
- Designed to pair with a Sand Stripper front tire for steering precision and stability
Sand tire tread and flotation
Paddle tires work by digging into soft sand and pushing the machine forward, while the open spaces between paddles clear sand as the tire turns. Deeper paddles grip more but add drag on hard ground, so a tall tread suits dunes better than packed trails. The wider footprint spreads weight across loose sand, which helps the machine stay on top of the surface.
Paddle tires often mean different front and rear setups, so match the front tire’s steering feel to the rear tread rather than mixing tread styles without thought. Paddle depth also changes the effective rolling size, which can affect gearing and speedometer readings. After riding, clean sand from the bead and wheel lip, and inspect the sidewalls for cuts from rocks or stumps.
- Check paddle wear after long dune sessions
- Clean sand from the bead before remounting
- Recheck pressure after changing terrain
