Maxxis 4 snow vs AMS zippers

[mike250]

I know they look similar but I have heard people say AMS sucks. Does any one know if the AMS is close to the quality of the Maxxis 4 snow tires. I wanted to get the Maxxis but rocky mountain atv only sales the AMS zippers and the Maxxis website tells me to go to a dealer for the maxxis tire. I really dont like going to the dealer so they can screw my over on price. Also i was thinking about getting the real thin douglus rims so i can keep rear wheel weight down. Would the .125 be to weak to use as a drag tire?

cant help but say this.



It seems like I've seen that zilla on ebay before.

[ky 2stroker]

no the .125 alum wheel is pretty much made for dragging. it would work just fine.

[mike250]

no its a lt250..LOL and this bike has never been sold on ebay i bought it bone stock and dumped a good amount of time and money into it.

What about the OHTSU Pro Wedge II Tire AT22 x 11-8 chap wants $235 for them mounted on .125 rims and shipping I heard they are better then the maxxis ..is this true?

[mxrobert01]

well. From the angle it looks like a zilla to me. Ive seen a pic just like that on ebay.

Only it was a 500.

the prowedge 2 is a much better tire due to its softer compound , i know a few guys that i ride with swear by them. i have a set of the 4-snows and the tread is much stiffer then the pro wedge 2's, if your gonna get some get the pro wedge 2

[370banshee]

pro wedge are cheap too... if you know where to get em... i gota pick up a set actaully...

zippers suck theyre too balloonish ,heavy and paddels are stubby .. 4snows are decent drga tire .. theyre just not as good as pro wedges ,now if you have a big power bike and are willing ot shell out the money the rare pro wedge 1 series are the baddest dirt drag tires you can get .

[mike250]

yeah i think ill get a set up the prowedge2's. i dont know where i heard this but..i heard the 4 snows are better. I think it was another forum. I'm guessing he was wrong..LOL
