Default Ice racing questions

Hi guys and gals, I wanted some opinions on ice racing tires and size of tires. I know chen shing's are the best for the backs but what size would be best for oval track? Also what size tire wouls be best for Ice drags.
i also need suggestions for front tires and sizes.
And for those of you who are about to ask the silly question "your gonna stud these tires, right?" OF-Course i AM.


thanks in advance.
Zig

I know when the stud class runs like 2000 they seems to have to work it to pitch the quad sideways.. I just put up a few pics flattrackin on a littloe snow/ice track we made over the wk end. I just ran my Kenda Claw fronts and Turf Tamers in the rear ..I was ALL OVER the place!! But had a good time......... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Tina

Hey! Studded Klaw fronts make great front tires (20") Use 1" Kold Kutters. Also check out the latest issue of ATV Sport. They interview Daryl Rath (one of the county's top ice racers) for set up tips!
