gofast5 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Also what about puttin some ski's on the front? Just more or less ratchet strapping them to the front tires with some custom brackets so the straps dont drag or makin some mounts for my hubs. I didn't think of it until now but mabey theres a way I can get a snowmobile track in half and wrap it around both back tires and secure it?

gofast5 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 They make kits for the front ends. Called snomoshee's or something. You can also put ice screws in the rear tires to help, but banshee's suck ass in anything more that about 8" of snow no matter what you do. Riding lakes is a blast if there's just a slight covering, you can stub your tires too if you want to ice drag. I usually just park mine in the winter. Maybe take it on the lake a few times. I just know how much ATV's fuck up snowmobile trails in the winter and I ride sleds so I rarely take mine on the trails Dont gotta worry about snowmobile trails here, not many people have any. I thought about puttin screws in the tires but theyll rip out on the pavement to easily I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Madd Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Banshee suck in the snow. Maybe try some realtors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prssantana Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My friend used mudsharks on his raptor in the snow and they worked well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jereme6655 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My friend used mudsharks on his raptor in the snow and they worked well. yes but your friends raptor is a 4-stroke......much easier of a powerband when it comes to bringin the power on. the banshee's powerband makes it a bitch to drive in the snow....cause when your motor does perk up...its already too late to keep from breakin the tires loose.

I am aware of the difference between a raptor and a banshee. That is why I added it was on a raptor. They are still great tires for that type of riding.

jbooker82 Posted September 15, 2010 Report Share Posted September 15, 2010 I have run maxxis 4snows on my raptor and banshee. Like said above any thing over 8 in and it sucks especially since there is no reverse to help back out when your stuck. I can pull a wheelie on snow pack with the maxxis 4snows on my raptor. The banshee just blows the tires off and spins. Tire wear is just part of the game. Dont get them spinning hard and hit dry pavement.
