4orcestore — 21" Grouser Sport Paw

 

trying to get our quad to be a bit more usable on a steep woodland.

 

ETV 4orce Talons

look like they are designed for sand and snow, not sure i would trust that tread to cut into mud well enough not to slip about, also it has no directional pattern to it, so whats to stop it slidding sideways rather than gaining forward traction. why not look at a set of clic duals with kenda bearclaws or executioner tyres if your serious about working on slopes

Have you ever wandered why tractors shifted from steel wheels with tall grousers to pneumatic tyres with more but shorter grousers?

 

Wile you may think it was so they could be used on the road which was a benefit, it however was actually because pneumatic tyres in a field would produce more pulling power and save fuel as the tyre can conform to the undulation of the ground and offers a larger footprint.

 

Looking at the ‘21” growser paw’ with its triangular shaped relatively hard grousers they are not going to produce traction on tree roots and if you get near a made up track it will be a bit of a bone shaker and reduce speed, also tyres have a smooth finish beneath the tread blocks so there is the minimum surface area for mud to stick to so along with the deformation of the tyre and the pinching together of the tread blocks helps with self cleaning, however with the ‘21” growser paw’ it had corrugations effectively increasing the surface area for mud to stick to coupled with limited deformation to help brake the mud’s stiction, so I wouldn’t want to go near a damp clayey soil.

that is nothing new either in design which they have basically copied or in application an a land rover that was done >40 years ago.

 

however this rises obvious questions of suitability on a disco as you would damage bodywork/tracks in short order.

i have looked into tracks on atv before, but at a minimum of £5.5k for a set of allseasons tracks,(if you can get someone to import you a set!) suddenly duals at £700 per axle look a lot more appealing!

I tend to agree with charlie's posts, I run Kenda Executioners up front with Mudrunners on the rear, keep on pulling on heavy clay plough, slopes etc. I think the dualling of the rears woud be a cheaper and better option too:thumbup:

Try Quad Bikes Aberdeen - KirkTown Machinery - Aberdeen, Grampian, Scotland, UK they all sorts of random stuff for quads.

I bought my snowmobile from them and there pretty damn helpful.

Look under used atvs and equipment.

I had a polaris with those tracks fitted for work we were doing on a sssi and it was a well worth while piece of kit, should never of sold it! also had a tracked dumper, nothing could match it off road!
