ATV Television has a segment about these tires on this week's show (which is carried by the Outdoor Channel). It aired on today's show but the same show will air again on:

Wednesday Jan 26 at 9:30pm (EST)

and again on:

Friday Jan 28 at 7:30am (EST)

Hope this helps.

Beware of traks,very, very hard on the front differential, belts, and all the bearings, shocks and arms. Really hard to steer too. My stealer had a set on his 03 650 and he junked em after one season 'cause they did such a number on his Prairie. Offered the whole set to me for 1000 bucks. Ha ha, sez I. You got nothing but money, they will go most anywhere, but you get to buy a new ride every year.

A dealer had a set on a grizzly at a poker run i was on.He was promoting them and saying how great they were.When he was showing everyone how they worked 2 of the tracks fell off.He felt pretty dumb.In my opinion a good set of tires is better than any track system on any atv.I think they won't hold up over time.Just my opinion

Your talking tires.........The tires will work well in the sand,.....as that is what they are designed for.As far as the rocks go ,the skat trax are a pure sand tire.Hopefully someone could give you more advice on a more versatile tire for what you need.Good Luck

The terrain trak is a specific type of skat trak tire. its designed for harder surfaces and not really so much of a sand tire compared to say a hauler or extreme hauler.

I saw that show they looked pretty cool however I kinda pictuered them as beeing more for a two wheel drive. I have some extreams for sand but I thought I should tell you if you should try some to stick with the 25" or 26" the 22" will be way off for your clutching. I tryed the 22 extreams on my prairie that I had originaly purchased for my V-force that diddn't work very well at all.

I was thinking of trying the 26x12x12. I was just going to try them in the back and run a light front tire.
