I have tried the ag, bar tires backwards and frontwards for snow plowing and was not happy. the problem is ags are not dasigned to work well when free wheeling( not powered ). Getting traction in the snow is all about how many edges a tread pattern has. If you look at a really good winter tire for cars, the tread may resemble an bar type design but there are many grooves and sips. It is the grooves and sips that grab ahold of the snow giving you traction. A grooved ag tire would work great for us. I think the carlisle snowhog or this one would be a better choice for snow traction or steering.I am going to try the xtrac this year.
