[jonnyd350]

im looking for buy a set of rear tires and rims to use in the snow on the street. and ideas? what have you found works good? paddle tires? my razrs just dont cut it

No tires will work well in the snow on the street. Kenda XC's maybe.

Why are you riding on the street anyway. It's an ATV not a SUV. ;)

if you mean on the street when there is snow on the road ( snow storm or something ) then go with maxxis 4snow's they are the best snow tire out there...but they are super soft, so if you plan on ridding pavement, they won't last at all.

I know I won't use any other tire in the snow

Snow on asphault is still going to have your tire making contact with the asphault. I still don't see the tires lasting, or getting decent traction like it would off-road.

think im goin for the ams zippers on itp steal rims, i found them for 130 shipped. they will only get used a hand full of times a year so i dont want anything crazy.

yeah the zippers are basicly the same as the 4 snow's..there good

I'll second that. The only negative is their weight but that also eliminates some of the spin that causes you to get stuck.

for me with 18" rears when i tried to ride on the road i could never get enough traction to even move. I could have it in first gear and let out the clutch and walk away cause mine just sat and spun. For the road i would have needed studs.

I used HD's and i got good grip but not enough cause coming around turns fast i would get stuck easly or loose all speed from loosing traction.

I have the HD also but when its snow time i bust out the Dirt Devils and never get stuck!

I dont know about snow/pavement riding, but for general winter riding the stock YFZ tires work great. I've ridden all day on winter trails with them and only got stuck a few times on some big hills were i just didn't have enough momentum.

Ive ran paddles before.. if anyhing run straightcut.. and try to find something durable.. but they will suck real bad on the street.. I think AMS makes a tire that can be used in sand a snow its a semi paddle tire.. if you are gona run a regular sand paddle.. make sure its atleast a 22 so it help with traction.. that what I run for snowy conditions.. I live in Canada.

This winter I'll be using studded realtors.
