Maxxis 4-Snows

[420bigbore]

Ok, i am at the stage of purchasing a set of maxxis 4-snows. I drag race on medium-hard clay, but i need to know what size tire is best for traction on clay surface. 22x10x8 or 22x10x9? I have had different oppinions from diff ppl so i hope i can get 1 straight answer.

Thanks

i'd go with the largest wheel diameter as possible,to decrease rotating mass.

LARGEST WHEEL DIAMETER? LESS ROTATING MASS WOULD BE THE SMALLEST WHEEL DIAMETER, LIKE AN 8" WHEEL.

hhmmmmm...this will take some calculating maybe...blue labels are pretty light..vs..a 4ply tire???which would require less force to turn-.125 aluminum or the 4ply????i apologize if im wrong.

I Would Go With The 22 X 10 X 8, With A Douglas Blue Label.

for that stuff i would nt get maxxis 4 snow tires .i know alot of peeps love them ,but i dont thin k theyre that great from what ive seen . id look at cut turf tamers

4-snows will wear out fast on med-hard clay, they are made for loose/soft dirt.

[ONLY2STROKES]

for hard packed dirt/clay...go with 10in. blue labels.run a 20-11-10 turf tamer.cut the tread to work on your dirt..pressure will also vary..

What about the Pro Wedge II's. Aren't these harder tread than the 4-snows?

Yes the pwII's are harder and way better than the 4 snow's.I don't think either tire is what your after,You should try the cut turf tamers.I like a smaller wheel diameter because it gives you more sidewall flex like a wrinkle wall drag tire.
I run the cut turf's and I cut every fourth row out straight acoss the tire.Another tire that works very well for your track type is the Ohtsu H-track tire it is a radial and it comes stock on Honda atv's like the 400.
If you are running a dirt sand mix go with the pwII's they will work if the track is thick or clumpy.The pwII's can get pretty unstable on a harder track because the tire swells alot.
