Different size wheel/tire for running in deep snow
#11
From what I'm hearing there isn't a tire that will even come close to competing with Tracks in snow.
If thats the case, I may as well hold out for a good deal on some used tracks sometime next year (need the job 1st). As of now I really don't want to buy another toy (snowmobile) because I've got too much stuff now and don't want another thing to care for & insure (just thinking out loud).
I already have chains, but they just dig and help to hang up the ATV. I was hoping that an aired down wider tire up front would float like in sand on a beach where trucks air down to keep moving on top od the soft sand.

I had posted the snow tire question back in 2008 on a different site. Never a problem in the snow after I changed over to BH's. Here is the link.

Hey Roofer,
I was thinking that a wider tire up front would help quite a bit, rather than having them dig down like my stockers did last year. That was truely a real bad day on the lake with ~6" of slush below the 12 + inches of snow.
That is why I aske how wide can I go up front before running into problems like turning the tie-rod, end for end (an easy option).
