Destructive tires in the hands of guys who like hot dogging
Impassible for you but not for them.....

No...that's the rub...they get high centred on them too..NO one can use the trails anymore...
add: it's actullay so bad we have to pay to have a dump of pit run bought in and then bucket it back to fill the holes...extra cost for the camp..

Exactly, we had one guy this weekend onthe Haliburton forest trail with those bloody things, all he did was make ruts and make it difficult for the rest behind him to ride.

You guys are implying that aggressive tires destroy trails. In fact, that is not the case. The idiot behind the handlebars destroy them. I ride my bike around my property all the time and there is not one rut to be found anywhere and the same goes where I hunt deer. I sure appreciate the extra bite in the snow this time of year. Pretty difficult to rut frozen ground.

There is a reason that sand tire are wide and flat. They are designed to ride ON TOP of the sand. Mud lites dig holes and throw the mud out the back. Works the same with snow except the snow does not have the weight of the mud. For ice or packed snow you need STEEL to get a bite.
Either way, once you bottom out, you stop.
I have two areas with erosion problems on the hills, both are from a visitor spinning aggressive tires trying to get traction. Been going up that hill for ten years before any damage was done, been five years repairing it.....
This winter I added chains to the front of my tractor. Normally I just have them on the rear. I am now dragging logs out of areas that I could not even drive thru in the past ten years....but I still must plow off enough snow so I am not bottomed out.
