Tires for racing

Wide tires with widely separated knobs work best on snow.
Boazobeanna front and rear are the best tires we've found for soft snow.
Use low pressure: start with 15-20 psi and experiment for yourself. Sometimes 5 psi feels great.
Glue tires to rims: Use tubular tire glue or any strong contact cement in about 6 six-inch strips. Only glue one side. We always glue the right side so we don't have to try to figure it out in the dark.
Snow Cat rims improve flotation, traction and stability on snow or ice.
Studded tires improve traction on ice.
Chains improve traction on snow or ice but dig themselves in on soft snow and give a rough, slow ride on pavement.
