Did he ever try them in snow? I love riding in the snow, so I want something that's actually going to give me some forward thrust, instead of just digging holes and messing up the yard.

I really couldn't tell u how they perform in the snow. We don't ride much in the winter. If u want a good snow tire, you'll have to get the Maxxis 4-Snow tire.

I decided on Interco Swamplites. I just got the warrior all put back together, and got the tires mounted tonight. I only rode about 10 minutes, but so far I am extremely extremely satisfied with them. My trails haven't been rode on for a few weeks, so they are covered with loose leaves. I might as well have been on pavement, they hooked up so awesome, and for the first time ever I railed a hairpin with both the front wheels off the ground the whole time from how good they hook up. I was also surprised how smooth they rode over all the rocky stuff, and the minimal vibration and noise they have on pavement. I can't wait for the snow to come!!!

For the way I ride, they're holding up good so far. I ride pretty hard, spin and slide a lot, and stuff like that, and the only wear they're getting is right on the leading edges of the lugs they're getting worn down, which is to be expected from any tire that gets rode hard. For the average trail rider, that doesn't ride real aggressive like me, these things would probably easily last 5 years before they got to even half tread. The lugs are deep, so you have a lot to wear out before they start slipping much.
