We live in a ski town in Colorado with arguably some of the most snow in the state. All of our roads except the highway are gravel, along with a few people that are a little crazed and decide to get asphalt driveways.. Finally took the plunge and bought a Bobcat s64 this summer... had ordered snow tires around the same time, ant didn't end up getting them until middle of December... I was really looking forward to them, and two weeks in... I am underwhelmed... I knew that chains on my stock tires would be better traction.... but I am shocked at how little traction I get with the snow tires... Chains weren't really great for long term use, merely bc the tires take a beating with them on and they are not the smoothest to ride with.
I currently have about 25 driveways and a private road that I snowblow with an older Hydraulic New Holland Snowblower attachment (i have learned more than I ever thought I might about sprockets this season and feel a little like George Jetson). HIGHLY RECOMMEND GOING THE SNOWBLOWER ROUTE
Struggling with which direction to go...
1. try a different brand snow tire.. and if so which one?
2. Add studs to these tires, pricey and not really great for all of the asphalt driveways that I snowblow...
3. say to hell with snow tires and go back to my original tires and chains... and ride it out
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated...
Sorry for the "ad photo" my silly cloud wont let me use the plain one and I am too tired to figure out what I am doing wrong
