Riding in snow ....

I should have my bike in a couple of weeks and there will most likely be a ton of snow on the ground. How do these WRRs handle in the snow with stock tires?

In stock tires on snow and ice is thery bed! Any from off roat tires is better.

To me that is a loaded question. So many different kinds of snow. Also, on a flat I can motor along in almost anything. Throw in a hill, even a small one and I could be done. Just make sure to lower psi
*2inches of powder over a smooth semi-frozen gravel/dirt road equal HEAVEN!

I'd proceed with caution as, along the lines of what inspector said, it depends on conditions.
Generally speaking, the stock tires are heavily biased toward road use, and you basically can't ask too much from either end when riding off-road.

Myself, as long as you have got the ability to do so, I'd mount some of your favorite knobbies.

I drove just a few yards on my WR and hit an icy patch which was covered by snow and whoop there I went.

I was thinking powder snow and maybe some harder packed stuff that snow mobiles went over. Hmmm Maybe I'll just wait until spring.

Up here in the local mountains right now there is dirt, then mud, then slush, then snow as you head up in elevation.

Stock tires, 100% useless in anything except some dirt.

I have the Michelin AC10's, very aggressive dirt/street legal tires. If the snow is more than 2-3 inches deep it's almost impossible to go uphill at all without walking the bike along. You can bounce up and down on the seat from time to time and get it to go further, but eventually you will stop. You must, at all times, decide when you are descending on a trail in snow, whether you could get back up if you have to. I found that out the hard way one time, and had to sweat bullets pushing the bike back up a slight slope all the while hoping it wouldn't overheat (since the tire is spinning while you're pushing and not much air is getting into the radiator). Just flooring it won't help either, you just dig a hole. 1 wheel drive just don't cut it...

The best solution? Honestly? If you're wanting to ride all year on most trails? A cheap used 4x4 ATV...

Thank gawd spring is here.
