Quick Pro Wedge & 4 Snow Question

[Young Guns Racing]

I have a set of both of these tires. They both have a "rotational" arrow showing the correct way to mount them. Now with that said I am new to drag racing officially, so if my research is correct on a DIRT track ---- arnt you supposed to run them backwards/opposite of the designed directional pattern? Thanks!

[Pasi S.]

Are both sets on 8" wheels, or are those 4snows on 9´s? My advice is, if you have test&tune time, try both ways. Usually you need to run them "opposite" direction, but sometimes you need to go deeper and they may do better on the "arrow" direction.

I have ProWedges on 8x8 wheels and my friend has 4snows on 9x9 wheels. His bike hooked harder on looser dirt. We both run them "opposite" direction", we didn´t have time to test them as designed direction on that track.

(sorry my bad english)

 

oh, and I like my ProWedge2 tires, but I´d like to try 9 or 10" wide wheels with them.

[Young Guns Racing]

Gotchya. Both are on 8x8 rims. Test and tune for me will be between the two. I seem to like the wedges better so far but I don't think they make em anymore. I will be sure to try them out bud. Thanks! Any other advice is much welcome

I looked at mine when I had the mounted and it looks like(and I was going to run them) backward for more bite. Kinda like a paddle. But you.don't have to mount them any diifrrent you just flip them to the other side of the bike to run them in the other direction.

Like this, 3psi. 4snows are terrible tires to run. The paddles just fold over.

We run them in packed sand ...they work well...for what they cost

Race what? My radio flyer wagon?

[quadgod211]

yea i agree...if you need somthing in a hurry then 4 snows maybe....i always thought they was for 4 strokes mainly

 

 

they do fold over if you put power to them...and there heavy i always thought..

 

i ran prowedge 1's and 2's and they gotta be on 8's or they wont wrinkle...if the tracks hooking good you can even hear them pop when they balloon out.

 

 

keep your 4 snows for trail riding

Best part about pro wedge 2's is they grow. I like that they grow since i dont have 6th gear. I have yet to find a better lighter dirt for

to run in dirt/grass. Edited October 25, 2013 by RagunCajun

If you put the snows on a wider wheel where they hook better you loose the growth. Kind of a double edged sword.

I dont mind the spinning. My bike is a stock swing arm. With this new build, i plan to try my hardest to tame it before stretching it.

 

I've got some cut Kenda Karlys and they work decent but i needed a bigger front spocket and more power to enjoy them. Plus they only worked well on semi damp terrain.

 

if i ever take my override out, ill run my knarlys 24/7 and it will be a strait up play bike. i just love how my override and pro wedges work when i drag race. But i hate how you cant slide the rear around well.

The last banshee I ran had 4 snows. I laughed to myself at them tires ane his -2 swing arm. Then his near 250lb self put a train on me off the line

Like said above the 4snos on blue labels are extremely light. The fins are softer than prowedges. but from what I heard the 4snows grow more.
