My nephew shared this with me. I don't think I will be doing that modification.

If you want to convert wheels to tracks this makes more sense!!

The subject of riding Spyders in the snow does come up from time to time. Some of us have seen the kit.

General Information:

Manual states not to operate :ani29: in the snow. Rear wheel slips and front wheels act like plows. I got stuck in my driveway the first year (2008).

Adding studded tires--does not work here. Dealer tried that one. One ride from Wasilla to Eagle River and the plan was shelved.

The :spyder2: just does not track well on ice and snow. You are also begging to get into a demolition derby. Lots of truck and SUV's on the road--and just being there--you take your chances. From a safety standpoint--I would not recommend it.

Seth from MN would disagree with me. He posted winter driving videos on Northern roads in 2010.

I would recommend getting a snow machine and stay off the highways. :thumbup:
