I have Toyo MT 35x12.5 R17 (with light siping from Les Schwab) on my 2018 Power Wagon.
Tires are inflated to 45psi currently.
I haven't really driven this truck in the snow and wanted to see what it would do.
Everything here is either icy or slushy right now.
I took it to a friend's house yesterday. He lives a few miles down a dirt road.
The road is very icy. The southern facing parts of the road are slushy and icy.
The PW was terrible.
I had a hard time keeping the truck straight.
The tires wanted to follow the ruts in the road and would not really respond well when I tried to get out of them.
I slid into a drainage ditch on a straight portion of my friend's driveway. I was able to power out of it, but the truck just didn't really want to go straight on the driveway.
Do any of you guys have Toyo MT's on your truck, and do you have these problems?
Due to the current supply issues......these were the best tires that I could find within my area.
My truck had a Carli BackCountry suspension kit installed last year.
I got it aligned when the shop installed the Carli.
It seems to do really well on the road, but not very well at all in the ice and snow.
On a side note, I have a stock 2022 Rebel that is incredible on ice and snow!
I got the Rebel for a daily driver. I plan on doing a lot of driving this summer and wanted something a little better on mileage than the PW.
I really want to keep the PW for a hunting and camping vehicle, but I was a little disappointed with it yesterday.
