Just wondering if anyone was bombing around in the snow on there quads. I had my fourman 400 out which didn't even come close to the rubicon. The rubicon had 26 inch tires and riped pretty good throught the 2 feet of power, my would barrly go through it, had to stay on the tracks, way to low(pushing snow and less traction.

would like to put 25-26&quot; tires on it but I don't thing the 400 could handle the 27's. It would be way to slow, and gutless. I am thinking the 26's would be to big

I had a foreman, good quad for mud and snow. my advice to you in the snow is slowly turn from side to side. This allows the wheels to dig into the snow that your front end is pushing around. Although I did keep a shovel strapped onto the rear rack of it. You guys ever seen a quad burried in snow up to the handlebars before? Took me 2 hours to dig that one out.

i only have a stock sp 500ho and man does that thing plow through the white stuff like a champ. the worst ive got it stuck was when i jumped off a little cliff and slammed into a drift, i got stuck up to the racks, 2 1/2 hours of shoveling later i got it out.
