    AMS zippers????

    i ordered a set of maxxis 4-snows last night, guy just called and said they were back ordered. he said the zippers are very close, which they do look similar. anyone have any thing good or bad to say about the ams tire. they are the same price. 51 apiece, free shipping.

    All I know is that the 4-snows were incredible when I saw them last year at Pennsatuckafuckaway (Brapps) last year.

    DEEPA and myself kept getting stuck and Louis was just waiting for us to dig out of the snow; They seemed to be the best snow tire I've seen to date! Not that I'd date a tire, well, maybe I would??

    i just bought a set of zippers on ebay for $89 shipped. I havent ran them yet, but the tread bars look very thin and flimsy. I am thinking they'll work good, But I kinda wish I would have spent the extra money on 4-snows.. I think the zippers only come in 9" rim, so that might be an issue for you.

    Cr480r is correct.....I purchased Zippers, when I got them mounted on the rims, one tire had tiny pin holes on the side wall. The tire went flat in an hour. Maybe that was just poor luck on my part. I sent them back and got the 4-snows. They are available in 8 inch as well where Zippers are not. I went with the 8 inch for a softer side wall.....IMO they look a lot nicer and well worth the change.

    Wow, great prices on that site, in the past I thought they only sold truck parts.

    i checked atleast 15 different places. i found atleast 3 with similar pricing, but the free shipping is great. Lots of stores sell em for 60 and up. i dont mind spending 20 mins searching for the best deals .

    i picked up a set of 4 snows on craigslist a few weeks ago and now im just waiting for some snow. but im not sure if i want to run them with the arrow on the side wall or against it. i hear its better to run them backwards.

    Try whatever you want but the ones that ran circles around my 350X and DEEPAS 250R were mounted forwards I believe..............
