i rode a frineds 300ex with stock tires and wow was it uncontrolable the fast trecker 22's i have on the rear of my R are great i couldn t ask more from them they have great tread ofcourse it was in like 6 inchs of snow put i was impressed with how well they hooked up unlike that 300ex which i was just crawing around a tree doing like mmmmmm 3 and ended up hiting it iv been rideing since i was 14 so it wasn t me ofcourse those tires were alittle worn in al fairness

 

any of you new jersey guys ride at the NJORV park?

 

Ok guys, I rode yesterday with paddle tires and let me tell you,.....I was the leader of the pack...nobody could go like I did. so if you have any sand tires around try them...I COULD DO WHEELIES. never thought you could ride a controled wheelie in the snow..

 

which type of paddle were you using. directional or the ones for hill climbing. me and my brother were contemplating about getting these for his shee'

 

How much snow were you riding in? and how much do you weigh? I am 240 lbs and my 300ex made it through the snow like there wasnt a tommorrow.
Mine is bone stock.

 

I am using an old pair of dick cepek 8 paddle tiresthat have the straight paddles. I think the v shape paddles would work better though because they would give alittle more traction around corners. OH, and I was riding in about 5 or 6 in of snow when I unloaded it and anywhere from 6 to 20 inches out on the track and on the drift covered trails. And Im 5'7" and 150 lbs. I think if you see the difference between the tires you will like not having to struggle.

 

My 400EX has a set of lawn mower chains on it. I can go up hills the 4 wheel drives won't even atempt. It will pull wheelies in 6 inches of snow on the trail easily!
