Well i got stuck this afternoon in the snow showing my wife where i pulled a toyota 4runner out the the other day and got stuck myself. Coming down a hill in 4 high i go to turn a corner and the old girl just kept going strat Almost over the side and into a tree. so i had to call the guy i pulled out before to come hell me out. The link above will tell the rest.


And thanks to a 2nd genner and my first gen we got him out again and on is way

do you want tires too look at or go thru snow,the narrow the tire the better in snow,mud tires suck in snow.

I have both BFG mud terrains (on dually) and allterrains on my ramcharger. I have about 40k on the allterrains and they still look good. I was out driving the other day in 16" of snow with ease! My dually is not my dd. I got the older style mudders when they were still available. I like them in the winter and in mud but wish I got allterains in summer time. If you get alot of snow and dont drive the truck that much id go with the more aggressive muds. But I will only buy BFG allterains from here on out!!!!

my buddy has these BFG a/t ko tires on his dodge 1500, like 75% of the population seems to run on 4x4 trucks

http://discounttires.com/images

we both hate them, i do alot of 4x4'ing with him to get to riding spots... they suck in the mud and don't clean themselves out, they are horrible in the rain and didn't shine to well in the snow we just had, good in wet grass though. they wear weird too...

Spot on! Years ago we had a VW Beatle with standard width snow tires that would go most places a 4WD would go. Back then being the genius I was as a teenager we put on a set of snow tires almost 1-1/2 inches wider. Then it got stuck everywhere in the snow, especially from a dead start.
