This week here in the Northeast we received a few snowstorms, a total of around eight inches fell. Winter is definitely here! Cold temperatures and the snow have made for some winter work, unless you a have a snow-plow mounted on your ATV. Then the snow removal process becomes fun. Luckily Suzuki Genuine Accessories had just sent us a 48 " Snowplow for our 2003 Vinson Manual shift 4x4. We were really impressed at how nice the plow and it’s hardware fit and operated. In addition to the Suzuki ATV and the Suzuki snowplow, ITP Tire sent us a set of their new All terrain radial tires mounted on C-series aluminum wheels. We knew the tread pattern worked well in off-road conditions but did not know what to expect in the ice/snow conditions. We were very excited to start plowing, this would be a great test of the radial tire and the Vinson’s snow removal capabilities.
Our first test was the driveway, a fifty foot up-hill push. This should give the ATV and tires a true test! Well, it did. The unit was unbelievable! News flash, the ITP ATR tires give extremely good traction in the ice/snow conditions! I really need to stress the traction the radials have in the frozen conditions. The Vinson was plowing with extremely good traction, it was unbelievable how much traction we had. Every once in a while we hit on a combination that works well together, that is just what happened with the plow equipped Vinsion and the All Terrain Radials! The extra-wide stance of the ATR tires gives an ample amount of traction but does not extend over the 48" plow line. This is very important because when plowing fresh
snow, we don’t want to pack the fresh fallen snow down and then try to remove it from any surface. The Vinson is remarkably agile when plowing, the Suzuki Genuine Accessories snowplow worked great! Include that and the ITP traction. Well, as stated earlier. This is a superior combination. Remember, if you live anywhere that receives significant snowfalls, look to Suzuki for their superior ATV’s and Genuine Accessories and ITP for the best All Terrain Radial we have ever used!
