Default I got a idea!

Alright hears my thought. I'm think that paddle tires would work really well in the snow. There is not much a knobby tire can do in the snow, so i figured that a paddle would do a lot better? What do you think?

in deep snow, paddles will work great. but around here we rarely get enough snow to warrant paddles.

i just use bearclaws. they kick *** in all types of terrain. snow included.

just my opinion.

heh, my scrambler just went through a patch of snow today where my uncles sled stopped...this was real icy snow, and his is kinda...well...not in the best of shape

dependin on the snow, paddles might work. in the shallower snow, i love my gators cuz they find bottom quick and just go, i very rarely use 4wd. havent seen what they do in deep snow, im expectin a poor performance, im gonna bottom out quick.

in deeper snow, u want something that will stay on top of the snow

I had a pair of Pure Sports Realtors on my 400ex. They went through snow nicely. They are a paddle with more paddles than the ones for sand. Check them out.

I dont know if they would work or not because if the snow is the light fluffy stuff but what about like the hard crusty stuff...would the tire just get eaten up really fast?
