    Snow tires

    Pondering a set of paddles for snow riding. I was looking at the Kenda Sand Gecko. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    I've got Bear Claws on the quads and a Wooly Bogger style on the 200S, both styles don't do too bad. These would be for the 200S or the 200X once I get it running.

    I have fond memories watching toudours videos, riding on barren snow on Canadian land. ALL of the guys in the video run Maxxis 4-snow tires, and they get places. Sand tires are for sand, and give you a rough ride on hard pack. Give the 4-snows a try!

    I just check out the 4-snows and I like 'em!

    I'll probably wait until we get some snow to make sure I can use 140.00 worth of tires tho!

    Although 4-snows are great from what I see, I wouldnt be afraid to run a set of some tough molded paddles in the snow. I have ran Sand Skate 2s in some deep snow and they worked great. And since Sand Geckos arent worth a sh*t in the sand maybe they would do well in the snow

    This past winter I ran Swamp-lites with the tread backwards. I'm going to buy a pair of 4 snows before this winter though.
