I just got a 2000 Honda TRX 300 2X4 yesterday for $2,850 from a dealer. It has Super Swamper Vampire tires and runs very nicely. My question is will it get around in snow?

 

I only weigh 130 if that helps.

 

I ride my two wheel drives in the snow all winter, and have found that they do fine until the frame starts dragging in the snow (7 or 8 inches of snow). What ever depth of snow this happens on your quad is usually the limiting factor. Some times I can float on top of snow that has a "crust", but falling through is a pain when it's a couple of feet deep. Taller tires will help raise your frame...

Good luck,
Lorrin

 

I have ridden with several 2 wheel drives in the winter.
It seem that 3-5 inches of snow they have a blast, after that
they start slowing down due to wheel spin, and tires floating, but with
the tires you have they will probably dig down. I did run across
a guy on a 300ex last winter in the woods and i was suprised to see
him,because we were in deep snow and down in the bottoms, he had
chains on and was doing pretty good...

 

Yes chains!.....get a pair for the rear tires and you will get through snow even if your frame is hitting....but not too much snow.

 

do chains ruin the quads tires. I am not sure if they do or dont but if they ruin them then i would not buy them.

My tires are 25's, do I order 25's chains or 26's because of the large treads?? thanx might be a dumb question
