my gf has an 01 Trail Blazer. it has the stock tires which handle the trails and mud good. The back ones have about 50% or the tread left, while the fronts are at 80-90%. i assume the people that owned it b4 me blew a lot of doughnuts with it. Anyways, the rear tires do not go good in the snow at all. i was wondering if it went so crappy in the snow because its 2 wheel drive and because it weighs so much. my 400ex goes much better in the snow. i realize the EX revs stronger and faster, but it just gets better traction. Back on the TB for a second, are the stock polaris tires good in the snow when brand new? or should i but an aftermarket rear tire? if so what tire?? we do ride rocks, a little mud, a little sand, open dirt roads, and snow.

 

Goodyear Wangler sports are a good all around tire for cheep. If you have a higher budget you could get ITP mudlite AT. The stock tires suck on the TB.

 

we put the mud lites on the t.blazer on back and it went great in the mud.

 

Our Trailblazers do not have a ton of power to begin with so you may want to check out the weight on some of the aggresive tread tires. The stock carlisles weigh around 15lbs. I just put on a set of stock size 22x11x10 Maxxis Razr2's on the rear and they look great and work great too. They weight about 16lbs.

 

Thanks for the input people, and i know the TB doesnt have much power. So i definately wouldnt put any type of mud tire on that ATV. i would love to put some 20's RAZrs or hole shots on it. i dont know how well those tires would do in the snow. but, i guess i could invest in some tire chains.... i hate to. thanks anyways. oh yea, the snow is melting in VT this week since its 40' outside.

 

Another tire brand to look at is Swamp Fox. I put the stock tire up front and Swamp Fox's on the back. They have been a good tire so far.

 

screw the chains, put a set of mudlites on the back the tb will go threw snow fine if its a reasonable amount, if its packed down snow mudlites will be good
