With winter right around the corner .. I was wondering about what type tire i want to use for winter. the machine comes w/ the stock hole shots , but they are gonna be dead in the snow , so i was thinking about using the mud lites..? I know there good in the mud & snow , but does anyone have any different feedback on other tires for snow???
Thanx!!

I guy I rode with yesterday had just installed Mudlites onto his stock Raptor wheels. He said the tires are supposed to be installed on beadlock rims. He didn't have a problem that day, but he was still concerned he needed new rims.
By the way, if you change to tires with a different outside diameter on the V-Force, won't you need to adjust your clutch?

Go with Spider Traks! ...They are without a doubt the best Mud and Snow tire! the only problem is too much traction sometimes!
Realtors are also very good!

i like to ride year round, so i'm looking for a snow only tire.
i don't think too much traction will be an issue in the snow , once sring rolls around , i'll switch back.
Thanks, for the feed back :smiliethumbup:
I'll let you know where i land ...
