Ya, I know its the tires. Today when the roads are dry I still spin. 4wd does work cause I can hear it go on but even in 4wd i still spin. I could just floor it and just spin till my tires would go bald lol. Its that bad. I have never had a car or truck be this bad. I know the factory tires stuck and I need to get rid of them now lol.

Just for the record, Mike recommended 200# of sand in the back of the bed.

If you can spin all the tires in 4x4, you either have one hell of a hemi, or really bald tires.

i agree with the blizzaks suggestion. i had a set of blizzak lm-25's (actually still do) on my RWD infiniti and it handled like a charm in the snow up in philly. they're pretty lo profile for snows too. tires make all the difference.

hell yes. if i could find a blizzak or real winter tire in a 37-40" size I'd get a set for the winter in a heartbeat. problem is they wear out like nuts on dry pavement. that's why everyone has two sets. one for summer one for winter.

Would it be beneficial at all or even make sense for me to get an A/T tire on a 2WD truck? Such as Cooper LTZs, Nitto Terras, Procomp Extremes.. Just wondering if it would be a waste of money.

Also, who has had experience with the Wrangler SR-As? Much of a difference from the Wrangler HPs?
