Default sand tires in the winter?

I used my stock Razrs on my Predator for two winters now. I ride a lot on rivers and lakes, so they are studded. I know that a friend of mine tried sand tires, and his major complaint was that it wouldn't turn in the snow - like riding where snowmobiles had it nice and packed down, it would shoot him off the trail all the time.

Gecko's worked awsome in the snow. They are hard and strong so they will take hard terrain well, also.

The Realtors look like a good choice for all around use, I was thinking about getting them too but needed a pure sand tire for silver lake like the Geckos. I would like to know how they perform too. I have the Paddlemasters but haven't used them for mud or snow, they are tuff enough for that type of riding. Problem being when your on hard pack or similar.

Paddlemasters suck on every surface, especially sand. Their sheer wieght is enough to kill the power on any quad with less that 500cc. They are also extremely bumpy, even in sand and dont hook up well at all.

Go with the realetors, spider traks, or something similar.
