Carbides - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

Found out my sled needs new carbides, just have acouple of questions.

Wondering if I should put on 4inch carbides or 6 inch carbides on Prescision skis? Any good web sites out there to buy them?

If I put 4inch will it handle better on the trails or 6 inches? Been reading about 6inch carbides you need picks in the track, but if you have no picks then you should run 4inch carbides.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

That's right. Any more than 4", you should run picks also. Too much carbide on the front will make it oversteer pretty badly.

i have heard on other forums that some guys are running 4" on the outside and 6" on the inside of the precision skis with no studs and are happy with the handling
