loss of traction in snow
#11
answer you are looking for is in the sig pic description. its ok i would have missed that to.
yes 4X4 she is.
as for tires, i was wondering if there just isnt enough rubber on the road to gain grib.
i also ask all this as for when my wife gets here this will be her DD. i want to be as safe as possible for her. so when i now have the time and money to do this i am taking advantage of it

Now, I'm not one to tell anyone to go to walmart or anything, but check out the Goodyear Wrangler Authority.
I had a set on my 2wd '95 F-150 and I live in Northern BC, Canada and they performed very well, for being on a 2wd truck. Now that I have 4x4 in my Dodge, I bought a set and absolutely love them! They're A/T's and are rated for winter, up here.

Ya I agree with the others, you would get much better traction with better winter rated tires. In snow though its pretty hard not to spin the tires, just gotta get used to whats gonna happen. 4 wheel drive will help accelerate but dont let that fool you into thinking you can brake quicker. I personally dont have any weight in the box of my truck.

Simple and cheapest solution? Put more weight back there. AT tires will get the job done if you are weighted down some in the rear. They won't grip as much as a snow tire but don't drive like you've never driven in snow before and you'll be fine. I have Toyo open country AT and they do fine. During a good winter I'll put 420 lbs of sand tubes in the bed and I do even better. Where I'm at we are lacking snow big time this year. It sucks.

They're garbage. I had them. Took them off after 6 weeks. Didn't want to go, then didn't want to stop. In 2wd on dry pavement they'd spin like crazy. Put my 3/4 bald Terra Grapplers back on and had better traction.But then this is just my experience and opinion, so take it as you like.
