Snow Tires?

[lectro99]

What kinda of tires should i get for my banshee to ride in the snow, or do the ones i got on now wich are the stock tires are fine? How does the banshee do in the snow? Does it ever get traction with the stock tires?

banshee sucks in the snow, At least with stock tires it does. But, If there are better snow type tires out there it would be good to know.

i usually just ride wit my holeshots but alot of people either stud they're stock tires or any other type of tires they thing r good, im gonna stud a set of Trekkers for this winter if the banshee ever runs this winter, or im gonna get some vampires, it think thats wut they r called, l8r

I use Maxxis Sur-Trac's they ROCK in the snow. I can keep up with most 4x4's as long as I don't get high centered.

 

Banshee's are more fun in the snow than any other type of riding I have ever rode. I love when it snows and I can snow-roost all the 4x4's

I ran my paddles in the snow. Xtreme haulers.

The key is not so much which tires but how deep is the snow. I've tried every tire I could get to fit my banshee and there really wasn't ALOT of difference ebtween them. The problem is getting stuck from the rear skid getting high centered. The Bear Claws I tried probably did the best but the disadvantage over using a taller heavily lugged tire is the weight of the tire. It really kills the low end and you really need that to get started. If you spin and the snow isn't already packed from sled traffic, you'll be lifting the back out of another rut. Once you get moving, it's great. The starts are the problem. You could use paddles if the snow is deep enough to keep the paddles from hitting the frozen ground. Other than that, use what you've got.

I use Realtors, but suretraxx, bearclaws ect.. any of theese should work good for winter riding... just not in much more than 3 or 4 inches.

I may try maxxis 4 snows this year on my 250R. I have a lot of fun riding in the winter.. good luck
