Looking for feedback now that guys should have more miles on them. Haven't seen much since the last thread in September. Thinking about one for next year. Curious what length studs people are running with them as well. Thanks!

Are you running full length protectors, or just the rears?I only have about 100 miles on it so far running max spool 17 however the track is awesome Hooks hard on the trail and deep snow but have not tried it on plowed road from a dead stop yet. 17 LTX LE

I have 720 miles on mine with 1.575 gold diggers and I love the track! Great grip as long as there’s decent snow on the trail! Works well in the loose stuff and handles great in the twisties!

Really interested in the Ice Storm 150 for my R-TX + extra studs for some more traction in the trails.

I've run 450 miles so far this year on the Ice Storm 150. Absolutely love this track and the way it hooks. I do 100% trail riding. Was planning on putting some studs on in addition, but so far I don't think I'm going to after riding last weekend with about 285 miles with good, to fair, to poor trail conditions with a lot of icy corners. Even on icy corners it felt enough grip to be fairly safe. Agree it's not the same amount of traction on ice that normal studs would provide, but I really felt in control. I'm completely stock with no tune. I'm going to continue to run it this way and can always add the studs if I feel necessary, but with early season trail conditions which typically are the worst, I really like the way the track has performed thus far.

Great feedback! Would be interesting to see if traction becomes an issue with 270/290hp tune.I've run 450 miles so far this year on the Ice Storm 150. Absolutely love this track and the way it hooks.

For the guys running 1.575... seems like those would not be long enough. Aren’t they just barely above the lugs?

No, they have about 3/8" penetration. 1575 is not the actual length........at least on the WoodysFor the guys running 1.575... seems like those would not be long enough. Aren’t they just barely above the lugs?

There is no decimal point (woodys) in their stud series numbers. A 1575 stud is 1.978" overall length

I have the 15o track and put Igrip screw in studs have 200 miles so far, I love it hooks awesome I run a 270 race tune and pull skis at almost any speed, I had the ice 1.6" ice cobra last year and ripped lugs off on sec year, but it didn't hook up like the 150 , I hope it will hold up.
