i am going to take my raptor out in the snow at 5am in the morning. we are going to get 4-5" over night here in PA so i am getting up before work to ride. i have riden a 650 skidoo for 5 or 6 years but have never riden a quad in the snow and i was just wondering what to expect. i hear it is a blast. how will my stock tires do and what kind of speed should i expect. i cant wait till morning. anyone run maxxis for snow tires, i am thinking of getting a pair. any info will help, thanks

 

ya snow will rob you of a lot of your speed its sort of like sand but its still a blaster have fun

 

the snow can be fun, but if we get to much you could very easily get stuck. watch for the drifts and good luck

 

about how much can a rap with stock tire run through without getting stuck.

 

i'm not sure, but i'm guessing if we get a reall wet snow its not gonna take to much. I would try to start out without spinning, if thats possable, but you'll have fun

 

well its is light fluffy snow u can get thourgh quite a bit and if its really wet snow it packs easy u can...... wait till u get a good layer of ice over it an u can go ne where and if you have to go though a drift back up and go wide open as fast as u can and hang on .... u can somtimes jump it but seldom and if u go though a big drift snow will fly everywere its sweet... but go kinda slow cuz u wont get stuck as easy try to spin as lil as possilbe .... ne more advice on snow ridin let me know i ride though it every winter form honda 300 4x4 to ac 300 to blaster to warrior with razrs to warrior with stock tires

 

i ride in snow often and my bike dominates in any condition. wet or fluffy. (even on very steep hill climbs) i still have my stock tires on and theres no problem with them. youll have fun im sure...

 

i run razrs on my 400EX...im in pa too, and we got about 6 inches, and the thing spun like a mother trucker all teh way up through 3rd gear....
i think i need some paddle tires... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
