Default first big snow storm of the season and...

My truck did really good. I took it out on plowed and unplowed roads and for a two wheel drive it did pretty good. Thank good for good tires and a anti-spin diff.

just remember driving in deep snow is way different then driving in mud, in mud you try to spin the tires to clean them out and get your self through.

In snow you dont want any tire spin, push through until you slow down and back up and get a running start, otherwise you heat the snow up when you spin and it turn into ice, making you stuck.

Only reason i am saying this is because i see more people that say they can drive in snow and they go out and when they slow down they give it more gas then i have to get to where they are to pull them out.

i got hit by the storm, had fun in the morning, but then it turned to rain so the 2 inches are gone now.

my truck has steet tires, and it did exceptionally well. didnt need 4wd at all. even when i stopped on hills and it ws all slush, she'd spin a little then grab and go. i was very impressed

I was out playing last night when there was about 5" of snow and these wide tires make it hard to hold it straight when you try to get on it a little. My old skinny Dakota Definitys were amazing in the snow since they were so skinny.

I like the look of wider tires but hardly anyone else runs them so you can't stay in ruts and even when there are no ruts my rear end just goes everywhere if I'm in 2wd.
