Default Best sport snow tires??????

Hello, I have a 1988 Suzuki Quadracer and I love to ride in the snow. I ride mostly on hard packed dirt, wooded areas and grass, but the the few times it snows I want to be able to ride in the snow and drag a sled around to. Right now I'm riding on holeshots that are worn pretty well and I can barely ride in 2 inches of snow without getting stuck. What do you guys think the best rear tire and size would be for me? Thanks for reading!

Mike

P.S. I'm planning on moving my front spocket down one tooth since the new tires will most likely be bigger than my current 20's.

Maybe ITP MudLite SP's??? Would be nice to go taller though, so you don't drag the rear end in the deeper stuff.

I looked into those reconranger, but I can't find the SP's in an 11x10 rim size. The mudlite AT's come in 24x11x10, but I'm thinking they may be too heavy. I have narrowed it down to 5 tires so far, Kenda Bear Claw, Kenda Dirt Dog, Maxxis Sur Trak, Maxxis MudBug, and Interco SwampLites. Any input would be great! Thanks.

Mike

My brother just put a set of 22" Mudsharks on his KFX400. No sprocket changes as of yet. Not too much power lost and they work awesome in the mud. Look like they would be great in the snow too!

How about a set of skis for deeper snow. On a sport quad, most of what's holding you back in the snow is the front wheel drag.

Honeyduck96, thats an awesome idea, how much do you think a pair of skis would run me? I'm trying to keep this low budget becuase I'm buying a new axle to. Thanks!
