does anyone know if sand paddles work in the snow? Im going to get a set for silver lake but want to see if they are of any use in the snow.

 

just think of what the snowmobiles have with there really deep lugged tracks . i've heard that they work allmost too good they will really rip up the snow .

 

yeah, they would probably work awesome in powder, but how well would it work in heavier snow and icy spots? jw, i dunno for sure...

 

Can't compare a tire to a track, a track has way more footprint. Paddles could work well with enough speed, if you go to slow you will bury the back end. I run outlaws on my P650 and they act like paddles in the snow, they will dig hard and fast.

 

sand paddles may break off in snow. snow is much heavier than sand, and sand paddles are quite literally glued onto the tire. if you get the paddle masters, they are made to work in snow. they have super thick, stiff paddles. the only issue would be with ice, or super hardpack snow. they work fine on cement (we had to ride the quad onto the trailer) but they probably wouldn't do much on ice, besides, unless you have studs, your not going to go very far on ice anyway. if you are going to run something other than paddles, i'd reccoment a smaller size mud tire. get something that works well on hardpack too, but you definately want deep lugs. good luck!
