skinner is not better. try riding a bike in snow it doesnt work and if you think it does seriously go do it in snow. surface area gives more traction regardless of the conditions. and you dont want to dig down in the snow that just creates a rut and will push you car if it gets deep enough you want to stay ontop of the snow you will never dig down to asphalt. ever. ever. take a look into winter rally racing they dont run small *** tires.

 

there are many other factors that cause a bike to not work well in the snow, weight being a major one.....

 

Regardless, we got another 3" tonight before I left eleva (30 miles away), and it did excellent... *** end was a little loose, but it's got all seasons on there so it's expected. They're a good investment

i grew up in alaska and have always owned a small car not 4x4 and skinnier tires are the way to go. dont trust someones opinion who doesnt get much snow in ohio, i can say that because i live there now. digging down to the asphalt has nothing to do with it. of course you wont dig down to it, but you don't need to you just need to pack the snow making a hard surface, you dont want to hydroplane on top of the soft stuff. the wider the tire the farther the weight is spread. you want your weight in one place to cause packing and then it is solid enough to drive on. trust me from someone who is used to 2 feet in one night and then drove 1 hour to work the next morning, in a small car. geo metro and neon, cavalier, it does not matter what car skinnier is the way to go. btw a bike would ride in snow cause your legs dont have enough horse power. lol you all be safe out there on the roads this time of year it gets crazy. the slower you drive the safer you are.

 

Everybody is correct Skinnier tires are better in snow When I sold tires All the tire makers told us to put skinnier tires on for winter it has to with smaller footprint equals more weight per square inch
I agree tire is the best place to buy tires I'm lucky their wharehouse is about 20 minutes from me but I should have had them put them on as they are the same price as walmart and you don't have to take the rims in but if you don't have that option wal-mart is the place to go

 

Walmart will NOT mount theese tires to rims, and install them on the vehicle...
Just a reminder

Wally world will if you bring the rims in yourself if they ask what they are going on tell them a dune buggy and put the rims on yourself I did it with my tires I got from tire rack no problems they didn't ask what they were going on

 

That works...
