    I ran my old sand paddles in the snow last winter. They were skat-trak edge 8 paddles. They did great until I got into some shallow stuff and found gravel... They were completely smoked before I even burned 1/2 tank on my LT250... I recommend trying them, but dont ruin a good set... Next year I wanna try some actual snow paddles...

    Do they slide? I did donuts on the pavement. And the tread was still fine!!

    There is NO flex to these tires.

    I ran sand devils in a mud-run once and did good, but once you sink they kinda suck. altho the paddles where broke afterwards(not torn off, just flexed). Personaly for mud and snow I prefer my 6.00-12 ag tires, they are 25'' tall and 5'' wide, they wont hardly slip in thick goo and cut straigt through snow. Not good for floating. They have won severl mud-runs.

    Well I thought about it a bit, and since I might still use my Red to tow cars around also, im going to go with the ITP Mudlites, stock size. The local powersports dealers got them for ~80$ per tire. Is this a good deal? Is there anywhere else I should look? (remember I have to pay shipping to Alaska if I buy them online) Thanks for your opinions guys.

    Nope!!! I took your advice, Im getting the Mudlites, not the Mudbugs. I talked to one guy who used them and said he wore them out in about a week then got a set of Mudlites and they still look new. He also said he hasnt gotten stuck since he got them.
