looks like 10-12" by sat afternoon,i rode my 350x to work this morning,mainly on backroads,i couldnt go offroad cause it really doesnt do well with holeshots in deeper stuff,everyyear i ride in the snow and after im done the 350 always wants to shut off and idle rough,i rev it 1/8 throttle for a bit and it calms down,its actually worse now that i put a larger main jet in,but it runs good,just a little winter glitch i guess.....p.s.,its pretty funny flying pass people that cant get up a hill or are stuck,i do help these people on my way home if they need help,im always late in the morning so i have to keep going!

So what im hearing is Holeshots are no good in snow? That sucks. I picked up an extra pair of rims with some 22 inch holeshots and those were going to be my snow tires. My normal tires are 18 inch turf tamers.

No...Holeshots are awesome in the snow. I was riding my brothers 372X through 1 foot + of snow last year....it went great.

My 200X has holeshots and they worked great in the Maine snow. I'm back in Florida now and we're riding in T-shirts! Surf's up TOO!

guess it depends on how "goes good in the snow" is defined? i used to have nomads wich were alot like a paddle tire ,but they were only an 1" tall and like a criss-cross pattern,then i had blackwaters,they went well in the snow.both of these were good in 10"+,but the holeshots dont seem to be near as good as these,guess there not as aggressive as the others,they do go great once the plow passes though!
