Default Mission Impossible; Tires: excellent snow, lawn-trail safe...

Putting aside the all the excellent tires for tearing up the bogs... We all know the pressure to limit the damage to land we ride on. I actually ride more in the winter due to frozen ponds/swamps linking up trail areas.

I can't be the only one... looking for a tire that does EXCELLENT in snow... and won't rip my lawn or the land I ride on in the summer... Today I run a pair of almost bald stock tires... with #10 x 3/4" sheet metal screws... GREAT on Ice: Logs, etc... also no harm to lawn/land.

The only issue is... they suck in the snow...

Any thoughts? the 4SNOWs?

Like... two pair of tires? There's a set of almost new Gators with rims for $250 that might be the winter ticket...

thanks... great site...

I run ITP Holeshot ATR's in the snow, and they are unbelievable! I just float along on top of everything. I run a real slick Maier plastic skid that acts like a huge ski. Doesnt' matter if the snow is a yard deep.......

These aren't baldies, but they arent' going to tear things up like mid tires do.

I'll never understand why Kawasaki stopped making those unlocking rear diffs.. we never had this dilemma!

unlock diff, drive on lawn..... lock diff, drive in mud.... get home every time.

bulletproof.

Check these out. If your looking for a good snow tire. You need more of a sand type tire that has alot of flotation. This is what I use on my old honda. And they are great. I can get up and cruise over anything. And beat my cousin on his 700 sportsman with no problems.
