You can take it for what it is worth but i have wizzed a lot of money away on ski's, Wear bar's as well as other crap and every thing ends up in a trade off or just does not work till i bought my Tracker's. They bite, track straight and look ugly but they work. I still remember my first impression when i unwrapped them, I thought i just wizzed another $200 away. The only reason for different ski's is to go wider and then i would buy the Yamaha mountain ski's and put tracker's on them due to the fact that they are only made for OEM ski's. No problem's with trailer or road's. Whet soft ground will drag hard. 4,500 mi sofar on the first pair in mostly central and northern Wisconsin. kviper
