docjcwatson Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The 4-snows are kinda like a cross between a very shallow paddle rear tire, and a mowhawk front. It's kind of hard to explain, but that is also how they perform. They are very similar to Pro-Wedge II's, which are a good tire for hard packed dirt. Now the way they work is to cut through the snow and get traction by biting on the semi-hard surface. Basically in order for them to work properly, you would need to have something soft for them to bite on. So unless this ice your planning to race on has snow on top. Don't bother. By the way, who in the hell does non-studded ice racing anyway?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellicoseBanshee Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 The Pro-Wedge II tires are worth the money. :thumbsup: It sounds good to go out and have fun without studded tires, but you will get frustrated very fast. I am not trying to discourage you from trying, I am just pointing that out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docjcwatson Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well if your just trying to have fun then go for it! I have a feeling that the 4-snow's would just spin and make you drift. Try going out to the ice and looking at all the other bikes first. See what they are running. For a shortage of funds though, the 4-snow tires are a great deal. I think 65 bucks a set new.

AKheathen Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 are the 4 snow tires any good and what can you tell me about them? are there any other good choices for snow tires? what are the best tires to use 4 non studed class ice racing? use a mud tire with large deep lugs and swing by a tire shop to have them syped, not too much on the sides or they could tear part of a lug off. run just enough air that it won't spin the tire off the rim and they will perform awesome on the ice, snow, and wet terrain off season. trust me i know ice and snow- alaska heathen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopczynski Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 We used to run the 4 snow tires on a 1986 LT230E Quadsport out in the sand dunes. It actually climbed pretty well with them on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
