Hello,
I was looking into getting some paddles soon for the snow we get in Minnesota, They are called the GBC paddle master designed to run in mud or snow. has anyone in here used paddles in the snow? are they worth it compared to like a razor tire? Any help would be greatly appreciated before i spend the money.

Heres a link of the tires i was thinking of purchasing.

those things are extremely hard for bikes to push (too much for a stock 350x). plan on replacing clutch plates with them

I'd try the Kenda Geckos. For a paddle they even do pretty well in the dirt and they worked good on my friends Banshee last winter.

my friend put some on his 350x and he says they are bad ass. they do take a little bit more power but they are very strong and you can even ride them on the streets with no problem, they have a very tall paddle

Let me know how they work out for you. I was kinda wondering the same thing about how they would hook up on snow, because I do a lot of riding in the winter. When you think of the paddle on a snowmobile track, it makes you wonder about tires, and if they would work somewhat the same way. Winter is the best time of the year to ride! Its cool to have more Minnesota riders joining the board. Good luck. )
