> Even that “snow tire” in the OP pic, wouldnt let you go anywhere in more than 4 inches of snow, and thats with eating through the snow and gripping the frozen ground or some ice or hard backed bellow. You will be dog paddeling around everywhere. 4 inch wide tires with 400+lbs on top of them wont float on snow! lol.

yah man, this is why I love ice so much. 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, the front end hovers off the ice…sick feeling!

ps, want to put a new 5th gear shift fork in my quad for me? Its just a yfz450 motor pretty much.
