jbooker82 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Or a maxxis 4 snow. I can pull a wheelie on my raptor with them on snow pack. Mounted on 10 inch wide rims. I had to tube them to get the bead to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNPK Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 the 4snows look great just wondering if they will hold up to small amounts of snow like 3-4"s just dont wanna get them an they get torn up if i hit some pavement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are kind of baloony. If you run them in snow you will be fine. There isnt a tire out here that works in deep snow because you get high centered. The tire is soft rubber so it will wear. The soft ruber wears better at low temps because the cold makes the rubber hard. So if you have a tire that is not made to be run in winter they get rock hard in the cold. So if run a winter tire in the summer it will wear a lot faster than it should. People who do dirt / clay drag racing run the 4 snows, and pro wedge 2's. If there is snow on the ground I wouldnt worry about it. Even if it is patchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 thanks for the advise i think ill go with the 4snows Pro Wedge II's would be better but they are a little harder to find. 4 Snows are better than the ams zippers.

burhead Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 Anyone ever run the 4snos on sand. I have seen it done but never got a chance to catch up with the guys running them. How do they compare to other paddles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you can get 4 snow's in a 9 in rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
