    what are the best ATV snow tires for Honda 4x4 quad with over 2fts of snow & 250ES

    Hello everyone,
    what are the best ATV snow tires that will not stop machines with a little over 2ft of snow?? I tried that dirt devils tires, spider trac tires in past. what about the blackwater mud tires and others new brand mud tires will works great in snow??

    I rode my an 86 ATC250es big red in snow storm last weekend with stock tires on it but i sold two rear spider tracs tires.

    I am looking for a sets of rear spider trac tires for my 1985 ATC 250sx with alum or steel rims, doesnt matter, if anyone got for a sale.

    2 feet of snow is asking alot... But if Tordeur is recommending tires, I would believe him... Watch a few of his snow videos on youtube...

    do you have your tires on backwards for a reason? I just bought some and the rotation recommended on the sidewall is in the other direction.
    I have thought about what they would do in this direction, Im guessing you did this for a reason. do they work better this way?

    Reversible tread design offers optimum traction: scoop for snow and backside for increased contact surface on ice

    i have a set of them and i was staring at them thinking about it and it seems to me like they would work better when used opposite of the arrow on the side wall. but then my neighbor says if you put them on following the arrow it will push the snow out of the way instead of collecting it. sorta like this>>>>>>>>>>>will push the snow to the outsides of the tires and this<<<<<<<<will collect the snow but seems like the paddles will give you more tracktion. havent used them yet so i dont know. its just my theory!

    I've tried both way and backwards has way more traction on hard packed trails. Was really hard to make them spin and would make the front end lift instead of spinning. They also had more traction in deep snow but wasnt that much of a difference compared to packed trails. For ice, any rubber tire wont get good traction so mounted anyhow doesnt do much.

    I gotta agree with your Tordeur, they make a huge difference in snow but they require some torque to be able to make them spin in deep snow.

    I wouldnt run them in sand if I'd be you... There made with super soft rubber that might eat really fast with sand. Same thing on asphalt, I'm trying to stay away from these with 4snow tires on.
