Testing the Maxxis 4-Snow Tires in Both Directions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- I've used these tires several rides in both directions but I've never been able to truly tell if one direction is better than the other. I decided to test them going both directions on the same day in the same terrain to see if I noticed a difference. After some snow climbing tests I've decided to run them the recommended direction from now!

These tires are very famous in United Arab Emirates because they act as a hybrid between dirt and paddle tires that we can use in both rocky terrain and sandy terrain! Great video!
I was sitting in school watching this. This beats school any day
PH OUTDOORS i stopped working to watch 🤣
Coming in late with this but I'm in school rn watching lmao
@@nicksemsel6839 haha I’m watching it during homeschool
I didnt even listening to my teacher on the google meet 🤣
I appreciate your videos Pete. Im all on board with the fact we need to save the sport quads and get more of them back on the market 😉
Third gear up in the air with the snow tires was sick man 🤘🏾🤘🏾
That's crazy how good those 4snows are.
Everything Loud 406 imagine them with chains! You would be unstoppable!
Pete Hager hes got a sled now 😵
@@PeteHager Haha ya I would I've been wanting to take the new sled out but it's been really bad for avalanches 4 people have died and 5 rescued just since the 1st so if it's not better by Saturday I'm just gonna go for it but I will have to be very careful by myself
Everything Loud 406 I saw that you picked up a sled! Snowmobiles are fun but our winters aren’t consistent enough to justify owning one
Pete Hager thats how it is here we can drive 4-5hrs for some great snowmobile trails but the season is way too short to own one unless i were to hit the lotto haha!
in school nothing beats watching these vids!!! wish I was riding instead of writing!!
Living in Ontario we deal with the snow like you . I will definitely get a set next winter. Thanks Pete for the video
@AR BOY PREPPER reminder its now time to buy a pair of those maxxis 4-snow hope u still want them
I just bought those tire for my quad and they are simply the bes. greeting from Quebec 🥶👍
4 snow are for running on real low air pressure and dirt drag racing. Amazing traction and stand up tall at speed changing final drive for great too end at finish
This.
Hi, how many psi do you recommend for the 4snows? I had mine at 20 psi but i figured it is way to much. I have 6psi now and wanna test them on the snow
You are right in saving the sport quads -- There is so many UTVs and the 65 in width-- and they take the complete trail around the turn.
These and the old pro wedge 2's are good when backwards for drag racing on grass and/or dirt. You can get around 8-10 more mph from the ballooning. When you make a lot of power, they become slower since on the hit, they Ballon and have a much smaller contact patch.
Riding in the snow is so much fun. Haven’t tested my kenda bearclaws yet but it should be decent.
Dylan H i used to run the bear klaws for winter an inch taller then the following year i put 100 snowmobile studs in em i ended up selling them wish i kept em time to make another set i think!
I'm loving the bearclaws.
breathe and squeeze good winter tire for sure!
bear claws in snow and muskeg are amazing I had some on a 300ex and they go through anythinggetting some for my 450r
Schmidty's Quads they were great for sure i dont think they make a 20x12x9 mud shark anymore?
Oh Wow! Amazing how the snow tires definitely work better than the stock! They hooking good! 💪💪💯
Terrell Spivey the stock ones are pretty bad in the snow! I almost got stuck on the flat ground at one point lol 😂
@@PeteHager I seeee!!! Lol but you got the works to work that snow now!! Lol Have fun! We have temps in the 70s here in NC! Craaazy!! Lol
I have a set of 6 ply heavy woods tires and a set of smaller lighter mx tires for my TRX 450 and it's night and day difference.
I used sand paddle tire in the snow in east coast on all my 250 3 wheelers and on my 2 stroke tecate 4 wheelers.. wheelies in deep snow all day long .. hrs of fun.. those tires you are running are not very deep lug.. buy a set of cheep paddles.. tons of fun
Matthew Krisowaty Ive used paddles in the past and they definitely work awesome in hard pack conditions! The ground clearance gain is my favorite part about these tires, not having the swing arm dragging as often makes a big difference 👍
Pete Hager ..yes I agree 100 percent.. I would run at least. 22 in tire and change gearing to compensate for power loss turning bigger tires.. god this video make me think of riding in the snow ..I liked the three wheelers best in snow less front end drag from snow.. lighter front end .. the video just reminded me of much fun myself and friends had in our youth..thanks man
Because of your videos I just picked up a Raptor for myself last week and am in LOVE!!
In Qatar we use these tires for the sand and dunes and they work perfectly
Game Show in Dubai as well
On the dunes and sandy trail riding here in Michigan small /semi paddle tires like this are popular. Plus they work well when we get snow.
Bought 4snow's this week! Trying them out this weekend! Can't wait😎
Awesome man! I was smiling from ear to ear my first ride with them. If anything I was trying to get stuck haha
@@PeteHager I believe you! 😂 I'll let you know how it turns out, 30cm on Saturday! 😎
@@PeteHager I can confirm 4snow's are excellent! Especially in 15-20 cm of snow. Can't compare it to stock tires thats for sure!
Great video!!! Wish I could say those would help me here but we've only seen snow twice in the 16 years I've been here. Again, awesome video about what you run! Thanks Pete!
I’m curious about the longevity of the tires while being run in reverse as apposed to the correct direction. Food for thought!🤔
I would assume they wear faster. I've seen a few comments regarding that
Did some drag racing when i was younger.... 4 snow and pro wedge were the way to go
Is that dodge a 6.5 bed? Do you strap the atv down? Need something to haul my raptor around. Like your setup. Seems easy to load off and on. Since you have experience, would you rather tow with a trailer or use the bed of the Dodge? Also can you transport your raptor with the snow tires on? Or are they too big to fit installed on the raptor in the bed of the truck?
I think it’s a 6’4 bed.I’ve never measured it exactly. The quad is about 6 feet on the dot. It fits in there perfectly with my 2 wood 2x4’s holding the front tires from rolling. I don’t use any straps. It fits just fine with the snow tires. I love the set up for quick hauling but it’s obviously limited to one machine. I get about 17 mph on the hwy without the trailer so it’s definitely worth it to haul in my truck when possible. I’m gonna be investing in an enclosed trailer for my channel since I plan to do bigger, longer trips and I need the security of an enclosed. 👍
Pete Hager Yea I’m not big on trailers because the lack of suspension, also bashing around making noise on uneven pavement bothers me. Towing trailer complicates driving and parking. Then you have to worry about the trailer possibly being stolen. So many things to think about...
They look like flotation tires and those are normally designed to just ride above soft ground while disturbing it as little as possible. I can kinda see how running them backwards would help
Those tires look like they work well. I'm not sure if they still make them or not, but years ago I had 3 sets of Maxxis sur trak tires. They worked really well on a sport quad in mud and snow.
Be careful... Don't scratch that truck loading up the ramps. 🤣
scat Trac paddles work awesome, we also put snowmachine tracks around the tires
Great video Peter
We don’t get much snow in the uk but if we did I would get a set of those Tyers 🤘😎🏍💥💨💨
Fantastic video its awsome to see the difference for the tires!! they look like they are a huge help in the snow!!
Hags the new graphics they put together are bad A$$! Dude!👍👍👊safe ridin from Steel City 🇨🇦!
Run the tires in the direction in which they dig. More wear and tear but it does what it is supposed to do: increase traction.
That thing is a beast
#savesportquads
I feel bad for the camera man it looks like he wants one
the new 2020 raptor 700r se color is pretty awesome. I LOVE the yellow hi vis color and that dark blue almost black is insane. 9500.00 is nuts but man im thinking about it. I really hope honda wont make sport atvs anymore because if they do ill be getting one brand new =) I still like my trx 400 the best for trails and casual atv adventures. The raptor is close though.
LiveFreeOrRIP the 400ex is a great machine! If I had a 400 that would be it. The new high vis raptor is wild looking. They’re definitely expensive but I really wanted an extended warranty and I knew I would own the machine a very long time so I figured why not finance a new one. It’s pretty priceless to know the history of the quad and how it was used and taken care of! It would be so stellar if Honda jumped back in the game! I’m just thankful Yamaha is keeping it going 🤘
@@PeteHager Thanks for the reply you are awesomeness... And yea I HOPE king of atv gets back to ATV...
Oh cool thanks man appreciate it Keep up the good work!
Yeah most tires that are directional are designed to give you better braking. Am in right or am I right.
Ever looked at a sled track, designed to give you better braking.
Sir Dick Little I know it kinda seemed dumb for me to be excited about them working better the way they’re designed to work 🤦♂️😅 there seems to be a group of people who use them reversed and they had convinced me until I tried this!
Dick Little they definitely look more aggressive in reverse which is why i had tried them backwards a few times. The tread pattern design must really play a factor. We’ve had a rather mild winter and all of our lake ice is inconsistent from rain a couple weeks ago.. riding in the cold is okay in moderation. It’s a lot better with friends 😊
You should try the razors in the snow to
Downey 318 they work okay but I have yet to see a nobby come anywhere close to these snow tires👍
Yeah that look like thay work awesome I think I'll buy some for my worrier
Good times! Every body needs a Conner..
Dirt ObseXXion I’m excited to have someone helping with all this. I want to make this bigger so I can travel further and more often!
Have you thought about it or tried to collab with any other you tubers?
Sam grandberry yep! Unfortunately we’re all pretty spread out. I’ll be rippin with Raptorman again this season. I’ve also talked with Trailblogger, the ATV world, ononewheel7, quadnation, Michael sabo, 700r.raptor.life! Theres a few more as well. There’s definitely going to be some Collabs this year🤘
🙋♂️
Bought a raptor!! 2018 Raptor 700R SE. They have so much power!!
Awesome man! Congrats on the new quad!🤘
(All terrain vehicle)
.......if they have the right tires
Dang it! You're lucky by having snow in where you live... I only can deserve mud this winter :D No snow this year. Last year we had a deep snow so my quad did get stuck quite a little xD
I think it's hard on the tires to run them the other way, and good luck with your channel
They're actually made to be reversed depending on applications. One is for scooping snow, the other is for greater surface area on ice
Would be interesting to pop on a set of sand paddles and do the same test. Maybe they'd be a bit tough on the drive train (vibration) without deeper snow.
Lifted_Above paddles work well in the snow too! I’ve had better luck with them on hard pack conditions. I’ll be getting a set of paddles this upcoming season so next winter I’ll have to compare them with the 4 snows 👍
@@PeteHager I guess maybe the 4 Snows have soft rubber compound for flexibility in low temps? Similar to winter tires on cars? Wonder if the sand paddles would turn into hockey pucks in the cold....
Wow i actually had no idea they made tires specifically for snow that’s pretty neat
Awesome video just like everytime
Hey man. Your accomplishing your goal. Because of your channel I’m buying a raptor and can’t wait to get rippin this year. 👍🏻
It did seem like the Willies hooked up on a straighter path when they were backwards other than that the right direction is the way to go with these some different designs may work better who knows cool video bro👍👍👍👊👊
Your a cool guy Peter keep riding safe bro and dont get hurt again your friends broke JOKER atv
BROKE JOKER ATV this years goal is safety! I’m trying to ride as smart as I can and within my abilities. I’ve never been able to get ahead on content because of injuries and I want to change that 🤞😅
@@PeteHager well I'm glad and always love your videos and look forward to the next ones, I need to find time to edited mine and get my channel rolling
Sick video Pete!!
How are those in a foot of show
Here is your answer ;)
ua-cam.com/video/tnGymTVQr6w/v-deo.html
Where were you riding?
Brady Larson behind mount kato on the hill near the red jacket tunnel 👍👍 we should fatbike the red jacket area on Sunday!
That is amazing how well those tires work!!
Your old intro music kinda sounds like the vixen intro
you can go through couple feet of snow,did it on a honda 400 ex
I use that same tire at glamis in the sand and there excellent. Awesome tires
What PSI do you run these when using them in the sand?
But the diameter of the snow tires are so much bigger then the stock ones. So your gearing will be different.
How these would do against paddle tires in the sand
I've seen a few people say they work great in the sand. I'm assuming they used them drag racing. I feel like I wouldn't want to ride a big balloon tire in the sand. I think a traditional paddle would be more practical. Maybe someday I'll find out!
nice video, good tires !
I wish we would get enough snow to ride in like you do. Could you test sand paddles for snow riding? Just curious.
A Mccauley I don’t own any paddles. I plan on getting a set this season so next season I’ll have to make a similar video. I’ve used paddles in the past and they definitely work better than dirt tires
Vids coming out nice as usual ✌🏻
Another Banger!!!..#SaveSportQuads
That was dope man thanks for the video!
There is a matter of why we run them on the proper side is because you wanna float over the snow and not dig into it.
Also in the snow conditions of where you are there won't be that of a much difference but in canada where i live, i only can use them in proper direction so i keep tire out os the snow.
60K !!!
yo scrub damn i just noticed that😵
Congrats @pete hager
Thanks guys!
Nice vid pete! Always supporting and sportin your merch! Come hit the sandbox with us...
skidd kidd I saw there’s another ride day next month! We’ll see if I can make it happen, I may be traveling south
Good stuff bro but u gotta hold those wheelies longer ! Ha ha 🤘🤘🤘
Richy Kobalt I was feeling kinda rusty and I’ve had some sketchy moments in the snow so I didn’t want to push my luck😅
So when you do a wheeler on dirt or asphalt, do you pop up in 2nd or 3rd?
Braapaholic Tv I’m normally in 3rd or 4th for wheelies. I rarely pop them at slow speeds (I’m not good at slow speed wheelies) I’ll try a 5th gear here and there but it takes a lot of effort and perfect timing
Pete Hager I have a Honda 400ex and normally I pop it up in 1st or 2nd but not sure if it would go up in 3rd. I’m planning on getting a raptor 700 in a year or 2, thanks for the tip
Cool video, you should try chains sometime. They work good in the snow too!
That would be pretty crazy! Maybe someday, normally I just run my studded tires if it's that gnarly but maybe chains with the 4 snows would be even better!
Nice vid! 👍 Those tires are way cheaper in US, here in Europe they are about $150 a tire 👀
Trailvlogger wow that’s a lot! I paid $65 a tire 😲
Trailvlogger ouch 😵
yea, it's a bless to live in America 😍
Great video 👍 let's me know what tires to look for 🤟🤙
You can do a wheelie with those? Insane
ahh
got to love the snow took my 660 out back in december it was fun as hell
I wonder how well would sand paddles do in the snow?
Hunter Howe paddles definitely work better than dirt tires. I ran some straight paddles years ago and I could wheelie on hard-pack snow but would still get high centered here and there. The ground clearance from the 4 snows helps a ton!
@@PeteHager I bet they throw some good snow balls! Haha
I'm gana say a big advantage the 4 snows have, is they are a lot taller. And your swing arm isn't holding the tires off the ground.
Did you see how slick he set up that ramp tho
Nice video, 👍
He does you're social media, do you answer the comment's or does he do that?
chriss0 he’s helping with my social media by gathering and creating content. We started daily postings of subscriber machines on Instagram and he’s helping intake all the messages because we’ve had a ton the last couple days. I respond to as many messages as I can and if there’s something I miss he passes it on. This is growing fast so I do my best to keep up. I’m the only one that responds to my UA-cam comments and I check them regularly! 👍 thanks for following!
@@PeteHager no problem... wait you remember me?
Man I wish it snowed here like that.
Intersting topic, I liked it man
Try those tires in reverse in some soft dirt or sand ! I use them for dirt track drag racing
How would these tires preform in light mud
What gloves are you wearing? I have 100% brisker and my hands still get cold?!?
Tricia Flanagan they’re generic skiing gloves. It was about 25 degrees that day, if it 10 or below they tend to get cold pretty quick. I recently watched ononewheel7 install some tusk heated grips and they look super slick! Plus their affordable. Here’s a link ua-cam.com/video/QDakqOhoYuI/v-deo.html
Hey I just got a new raptor Friday and it seems like my coolant reservoir is a little low but I seen a lot of videos that look that way. Have u noticed that with yours ? I thought maybe it was something with the break in and how did u black out your warning stickers on yours ? That looks really nice ?
My coolant reservoir has been right on that low line the whole time i've had my Raptor. I think it's more of an overflow tank so unless it goes way below that low line I wouldn't be too worried, just keep an eye on it. I got the replacement warning plates off Ebay. They were stainless steel and I had them powder coated black. Just type in "Raptor 700 Warning Labels" and they should show up 👍
Thanks bro I found some on there. I also found them in black but its not in the us so it would take forever to get here I’m sure but thanks for the info.
decrease the air pressure in the 4snow tires and try them ....
Hi cool I Use the 4 snow for sand just the same I guess
Hey Pete about how much do those tires cost... I would like to get myself a a set
They are about 90$ here in Canada.
Fortnine.ca
Nate Heiderscheit I had picked them up for $65 a tire off of 2wheel.com last season 👍
I paid $140 taxes included for a set of 2 here in Kingston Ontario in Nov 2019.
Like it...
Whats the deepest snow those been thrue
David Breiland I can make it through 6-8 inches pretty easily. Your not going crazy fast but it’s better than getting stuck. Most of the time after 5 inches with dirt tires it’s easy to get stuck
I always wanted to see what would happen if you put 4 of these on a 4wd atv, would it make it a beast in the snow, and how would it compare to mud tires in the snow?
Now thats something I would love to see! you should do it! film it and share it lol!
@@PeteHager would like to but i dont have a 4wd atv lol
Where you located in Minnesota? I live on vermillion
Connor Sporich I’m in Mankato 👍
4 snow are good but Othsu Pro wedge are the best for deep snow
My brother, what do you think about making a video teaching wheeling and the best alterations on the bike and if you agree, will you make videos in another channel or put them on this channel?
I made a video on how to wheelie last spring. Theres lots of videos on my channel ua-cam.com/video/13xsvvmg3Yk/v-deo.html
Guys can somebody tell me which is faster the yfz450 or raptor 700 because I will buy one and I don't know which is faster
Raptor 700 for torque YFZ 450 for speed. Simple as that. Afwan 7abibi
They work great in the sand try them in a drag race I busted a lot of four-wheelers asses with them tires LOL.
Hey can running those snow tires in that sand too
braapp Lee I’ve heard good things about them in the sand! I could see them being used drag racing but i feel like I would prefer a smaller, regular paddle tire for dune riding🤔
I run them on my 86 250r at the sand dunes work really well
why don’t you pop the clutch when you about to wheelie ?
I only pop the clutch when I'm trying to wheelie in 5th gear. It comes up really easy with just power and timing in 3rd and 4th gear
I drag race and they work super good
There’s no snow in CENCAL where I’m watching this lmao but GANG
There's no snow here in the Philippines but atleast I got another Idea about quads 😁
Bring those maxxis tires with you to the dunes next time you go
