I dont run then but i would like to. I have seen sets on ebay fairly cheap. But usally when the snow gets too deep for wheeling i just pull out the sled.

How does that front one stay on?. It looks like if you hit a bump with the tire it would just fall off.

i just run my pro wedge sand tires, i studded up my trail pros for ice, but with one good ride and some trees ,stumps and rocks there arent many screws left in the back tires, out of 350 i have maby 10 left? not a good screw choice.

the rears are 13 inch car chains with three differant tipes of cross links. the front is put on with no air. then inflate. if tire gets low it will come off. the tred holds it in place.

i just run studs, front and rear. my ice tires do not touch dirt whatsoever, have way to much $ in them too. the tires are 20x10x9 slashers, same as razrs, they have 800 studs in each one, gold series studs, 1/2 inch. the fronts are stock honda ex tires, with 400 in each one, same kind of studs. the only time they will leak is if a stud gets pulled out. so i run radiator fluid in them just in case...

up here my boss uses chains on a 93 big bear with stock tires to push cars in the shop and with out the chains he would be lucky to get the bike uot of the shed!!!


i think chains are awsom to use in the winter
