So my new tires just got their first taste of snow for the year. 305/55/20 Terra Grapplers. Great traction but not so much with the stopping. Slid right down my driveway like a sled. Guess ill have to be a little more carefull. Truck did slide a bit with the stock Goodyears.

 

I had problems like that with my old '91 S10 Blazer, it had great traction in the snow, but as soon as you touched the brake pedal the front wheels locked and sliding you went...

 

have fun with the 20's in the snow, espically snow 3 inches or more.

 

No fun is running two empty trailers in a snowstorm, hoping none of the 5 axles breaks loose....Ahh the life of a trucker lol

 

i like using pizza cutters in the snow cuts right thru and stops nice, but not many options for 20s.

 

Stopping is all about pounds per square inch of tire tread surface contact, so naturally a wider tire has the weight dispersed more. Put a couple hundred pounds of sand in the bed, right over the rear axle as close to the tire humps as possible and it'll help a good bit...
