    Figure 6 to 9 inches depending on the snow pack, may go through more but eventually will belly out. If you plan on venturing out any distance buy tracks.

    I'm new to ATVs, owning a 8x8 KID for less than two weeks. It has old, dry, nearly treadles AG Goodyear 23x8.5x12 tiress. I want to plow snow with the machine and wondered if anyone had advice on the best type tire for the task. I was considering the Deestone 4 or 6 ply AGs.

    Has anyone ever tried Maxxis 4-snow tires? There's a few different flavours of the same tire out there. All seem to be aimed at snow riding. Would these be too soft of a compound for regular riding through rock and such?

    I was looking at those also. Seam to be a good tire and you can get the same version in a 4 ply.

    Not trying to discourage anyone or discredit these tires but I recall reading about the diameter growing significantly with rpm's.

    Yes your rite thay will grow when spun Fast. But at 22" tall and being that you can put a 24" tire on a max II I would think thay would not grow a Full 2" to interfear ??
    I found a supplyer for this tire at a good price so I am leaning toward a set for the winter. As of now I am in the works on a 9" wheel at the shop. but thay are avalible in 8" and 9" rim size. Realy want a set of Vendettas but last I talked to MudOx thay said there still in the works and not sure on a date of avalibilaty ?

    Unless you have a pretty fast machine, the 4-snow don't seem to gain circumference to any great degree. Some have tried them for racing, but that never works out. We have a set on Q's trail machine and they work just fine. For the trails or snow, I don't think there will be any problems as long as you don't want to swim them; they don't swim worth a darn.
