Snow Tires???

[mike84bigred]

What kind of tires to you guys like in the snow? I got a set of rims sitting around that I was thinking of using for the winter. Maxxis makes a snow tire, but they don't look aggressive enough? What about sand paddles or a regular knobby tire with chains on them?

[fabiodriven]

I saw a guy last year with paddles on a 450Z or whatever that 'Zuki quad is. The thing was like a friggin snowmobile. He was going up and over or through big snowbanks like it was nothing.

i was thinking of putting my paddles on one of my trikes just for that reason.

Maxis 4SNOWS hands down the best snow tire. No questions asked.

here they are

The 4SNOWS or PRO-HEDGE is what we think is the best .....at high speed!
For our use, the chains is not appropriate.

[topless]

I vote 4snows, inexpensive a surprising traction. You can reverse them for ice, and again the traction is surprising.

carlisle also makes a really cool chevron tire!

We saw 4 snows in action at Brappfest and they are one awesome performing tire!!

[Yamada]

Yep, 4-snow, Zipper, Pro-wegde, etc. are the best tire for snow riding.
I started this season wit my Kenda Knarly and on packed snow the 3 wheeler would spin up to 4th gear. Installed my Zipper and it will stop to spin in 3th gear... It will also wheelie on ice!!!!

[mike84bigred]

Only problem with those Carlisle's are they don't come in a 9 inch rim. Out of the three, who's the cheapest? I have never seen those pro-wedge before.

[vegas250rr]

your running 9s on your sx?

[mike84bigred]

The other set of rims I got a 9's. I have 8's right now

Maxxis 4-snow are the cheapest tires!!! Around $50.

4-Snows are indeed the best snow tire you can buy for a wheeler. They are unstoppable. I don't have a set, I run Maxxis Sur-Traks, and they get around pretty good.

+1 for the 4 snow,very cheap and the best tire ever in snow.Always curious to see a 4x4 quad with 4 snow on all wheel.Here in quebec they are about 36$ each installed.....

[4cfed]

raffa's pictures are the way to go!!! any tire with studs!!! seen a predator 500 smoking 4x4 quads in mud drags with holeshots with cold cutter studs!!

also herd of guys using them for dirt drags

[litebulblsc]

Studs won't help in alot of snow, they are more for ice. You need the 4 snows, never heard any thing bad about them, but a ton of good.

[4cfed]

if never ran snow tires so i guess i have no valid input, if the guys on here say 4snows than 4sows it is

[mike84bigred]

They are 61.99 in Dennis Kirk. Cheapest I have seen is JCWhitney at $51.99.

The lumberjack tires should be good in the snow
