They work alright. I would never put them on a quad. I bought mine with them. I would suggest razors, turftamers, or others like them.

I had them on a warrior before if I remember right the tread was about as thick as a penny. they aren't very good in the mud. they are a pretty heavy tire. I found them to be ok in the snow as long as the snow didn't get me hung up on the rear end.

realters are pretty much a paddle but thicker paddles. They don't really grip up on anything good. They'll push you around in the stuff but you will have a lot of tire spinnage.

My buddy has realtor's on the back of his blaster. When you reverse them for mud/snow/sand use, they are VERY VERY good in the mud. His frame and swing arm were dragging in the muck and the little bugger still kept chugging right along(although very slowly). In really deep and sticky mud, we couldn't take the blaster out of 1st gear, but like I said, it kept moving. With the tires in the normal "trail riding" direction, they SUCKED in mud.

I think there 7/8 or 1 1/8" deep lugs. I know they are pretty deep. I had a set on my quadracer. There good in the snow and mud, but that's about it. I was banned by my buddys from trail riding with these tires do to throwing rocks at them and hitting one in the chest. These tires pick up and sling everything. They are also heavy and stiff. I think if you got a flat you might not even notice it do to how stiff the sidewalls are. If you looking for a set of mud/snow tires and have enough HP to turn them then these are the tires for you. I'm planning on getting a set just for muddy Harescramble races when I get the extra money.
