Looking good , one suggestion slap a piece of 1/4" plywood on the front about 36" inches high keep the slush from the roadway off it. On the sides only up to the railing.
Enjoy your new ride !!!!!

I thought you were going to buy a quad? That's not a quad, that's a Polaris... Lol
what's the engine size on it? Is it new or used?
Those look like stock tires. For general trail, or private property they'll be fine, but in deepere snow or muddy trail conditions aftermarket help out considerably. Oem usually are like an all season tire. But you have an off road machine, and purpose off road aftermarket tires will give you more bite and with larger sizes you will get more ground clearance.
Great idea OY .... thanxQuote:

If you are replacing your stock tires, take a lesson from Honda and go wide and soft if you want to get thru the snow. I still have the OEMs on my Sportsman after ten years but my BIL on his little Honda rides higher on packed snow. :rolleyes:
A set of chains makes a huge difference for the atv in the snow/ice, and are around $100 .
An upgrade I did on my ATV was to install ITP Mud Lite tires. They made a big difference for traction in the snow. They are also very smooth when trail riding.

Another thing ive done when I've gone on the ice is screwed 1/2 long sheet metal screws on centre portion of treads that help bite on bare ice areas. Slotted hex washer heads. End of season just take out. Just make sure not to use longer screws than lug depth or your screwed!
I run the exact same tires and they are worth every dollar. You can have all the power in the world but traction is what gets you through.Quote:

Destructive tires in the hands of guys who like hot dogging :)
