Not So Pro 3

Skinny beats wide when it comes to tires on snow. Airing down is to create a wider contact patch to float on top of the surface instead of digging down. When I used to go to the dunes in the jeep I'd air down and float all around that mfer. In snow, with a vehicle at least, you're looking to dig through and find traction. When I had a '78 Bronco with 33x9.50 "pizza cutters" people would talk about "can't make a path through THAT", I'd say "hold my beer".

We always kept skinnies on the recovery wrecker and plow truck. You get plenty of bite when you saw on the wheel a bit.

I almost added a caveat at the beginning that that was my philosophy and others may disagree.

Sometime when your car is stuck in the drive and you’re not in a hurry, let the air out of the drive tires until they start to squat pretty good and see. Usually you can drive right out of it

It could have just been the vehicle too. I may have told the story here, going home on second one night in the '79/460/31s I had hood high drifts. I tugged a little metro a 1/4 mile before I had to give up. When I went to retrieve my strap it was stuck in the snow packed underneath it. The tires were off the ground at least in the front. I'd literally drug it. Those things are so fukkin' expensive now I'll probably never own another one.

Nah I heard that guy was 100% a dick. I will say I've damn near bit my tongue off several times this week with the JR stuff.

So in theory.. if you cop-a-squat the car drives off?
Sounds logical

Thing impressed the hell out of me Tuesday morning. Cars like mine had no business out in that chit, the attendance here in the shop spoke to that. I just wanted to see.

Ok I put a barrel of oil in the back of my truck for weight. Guess I gotta just keep 4wd on and go slow?

Nope no tarp. It's not really the snow on the chipper it's the snow in the way of getting to it. View attachment 283548

Well I was going slow this morning and all it took was a little ice and the truck did whatever it wanted so I’m asking what else I need to do.

a barrel off oil isnt enough weight to do much
you have a 2500 with a heavy motor in front weighing over 1000 pounds
you need a ton or close to that for your truck to perform nice
