My Response to Winter Closure

Didn't finish until 6:30 pm Sunday, so I have to wait.
Shooting to try them out on MLK day.
(and it's been cleaned with just water, no soap)

Actually, Kendo, Scott and I did noodle around Kendo's yard/driveway. I have to say, I couldn't really feel the I wasn't on tires. Turning was easy too, and that was in dirt. I can't see snow being that much harder.EigerMike wrote:so how were they?
Wasn't really what I expected to feel.

I get there are other demands in life, but at least make something up like "a rabid badger chewed my arm off and I have to wait for it to grow back".Ken wrote:Sweet.

Could you easily steer out of a previous track you were riding in?
Should we all be saving our $$$?
Check Gizmos .....I posted there.
As for steering....honestly, you can hardly tell the difference between tracks and tires. If you closed your eyes, I think you'd be hard pressed to figure it out.

Is that "ON SNOW ONLY" or is that for sand, dirt, muck too?Ken wrote:Gtown wrote:Nice pics and video Ken. Lets have the full report. How was the steering?

I can see snow being hard to tell since it's high slip surface but what about something else?
These would be handy around the house esp. to plow with hehe
Todd,
Those particular tracks are 4 season. The ONLY difference, is the snow only tracks...the rubber is softer. No difference in design.
As for steering.....it's really a non-issue...surprisingly. We drove the quad around Kendo's yard for a bit when we installed them.....could BARELY tell I wasn't riding on tires. The only difference, is you can feel the little rocks and stuff.
The only difference steering that I've noticed...is when you're in a hard turn....it takes more effort to keep it in a turn. At a full turn, it wants to go less.
