Has anyone used sand type paddle tires for snow riding?

 

Hey Im not really understanding your question, but if you would like some ideas of excelent tires for snow I would buy reaalitors. I just got mine and they are awesome. The way they work is it isnt exactly likke a paddle, it has a little bar that comes out and make a little have circle in about8 spots (ithink there are 8) and then what you do is you rotate them one way and they are excellents for mud because they clean out really easy, and you put them the other way and they are great for sand and snow. However, I have only take them through mud, not snow or sand..............yet

 

I have a pair of realtors also and they work great in the snow. I'm not sure if regular sand tires would work in the snow though.

 

Yes I have heard of people using paddles in the snow, I have heard it works very well too. If I were to do that it would have to be deep snow so I didn't rip up the paddles.

 

I saw a couple of guys with paddles last year on the 400ex. They seemed to work great.

 

I haven't had a chance to try my paddles in the snow yet, but I they'll work well as long as the snow is pretty heavy. I don't think they'd work very well in powder though.

 

i hear paddles work ok but i am very skeptical about that. if u wanna ride in the snow get some sno-traxx. their awesome!

 

I'm curious, are the paddles on these type of tires stiff or pretty flexible? I've never seen these type of tires in person so I don't know much about them. Would the tires hold up if they were run over a hard surface like packed snow? I'd imagine that the ride would be kind of jaring or do the paddles flex enough so that it doesn't hurt them. I do realize that the tires are made for sand but it seems that there are a lot of simularites between duning and riding in snow. Since I'm in Alaska, I don't know what it is like to ride in the dunes. I got the paddle tire idea from my snowmachine since it has a 1.5" deep paddle track on it and it is incredible in the snow!

 

Sno-Traxx?

 

I'm wondering if the gentleman who said sno-traxx meant All-Trak.

Anyways, I personally would not run paddle tires meant strictly for the dunes on a hard surface. It would be bumpy and I think you stand a chance of wearing through the paddles pretty quickly. I'm in agreement with the people who said go with the Realters. They have thicker paddles and are closer together so you don't get that bumpy ride. I own a set and that's what I use when I go riding in the snow. I love mine.
