It has been said that snowmobiles loose alot of horsepower between the
engine and the track. Big wheels supposedly lower the rolling resistance
and therefore free up some hoesepower thus making the sled's drivetrain more efficient.Has anyone tried this?There are alot of aftermarket expensive billet wheels out there.Has anyone found an OEM style replacement lager plastic wheel and bearing kit? I have a polaris 2004 switchback with a 144 inch track.Also would I have to make any other mods to the rear suspension to accomodate the larger rear wheels or could I swap out the origional ones (6.25"dia.) for larger ones? How large could I go without modding anything else and still get a performance increase? Also any links to a supplier of wheels would be great.
Thanks JFK
