Hello,
Just thought I would ask to see if anyone has ever tried paddle tires (sand tires) in snow on a 2wd (eg. Warrior, Banshee),also will they hold up to the abuse of rocks,bumps,stumps that are under the snow or will the paddles just break off??

Thanks

I think it will just sink. Cause snow is not as stable as sand.

Buy some pure sport realitors. They are a sweet tire.

Seems so if you spaced your wheels out for better floatability and only rode in soft, fluffy snow, they might do good once you got going. Any hard surface would wear them paddles down awfully quick though.

I have a 95' Banshee and my buddy has a 250x/350x.
I run 20-11-8 GBC Sand Devils and he uses Sand sharks. Both tires work great in snow, especially hard pack. Great hook up and throws a great roost too. We bought the paddles just for snow since we dont have much sand here. Realtors would work but wouldnt roost as much and are more expensive. I picked up my paddles on .190 red labels for $162 with shipping from recreation tires. I have been riding snow for a month with no sign of wear. They have held up great.
