Default Paddles in snow = death

Ha, I put my paddle tires on today and rode around in the about 8 inches of snow we have. BOY WAS IT FUN! It just crept through the snow like it was nothing. Anyone else do it?

Guys around here sometimes run Pro Wedges or 4 Snow drag tires in the snow. They go pretty good, but some of the other tires like Mud Machines, and or tires like the Dirt Devils, Sur Trac's, and tires like that get alittle better traction.

I got the Puresport "Realter" snow/mud tires. They are 22X12X9's. They work great. Being 22's you get a little less spin, and the 12's put some serious meat on the ground. The paddles are kind of cupped, and work great, they throw snow all over the place. I am highly impressed with them!

I rode at Moses Lake Washington yesterday in 10" of snow covering the sand, it was a blast. Used 22's extreme haulers and dune trackers up front. Worked alot better than knobbies but getting in about 14" nothing helps but a couple of extra helping hands lifting the quad out.
