Help Selecting Tires!

Not necessarily true. Often under the snow is a layer of ice, and your tires/vehicle weight is going to compact the snow as well. I believe wide vs. narrow tires depends on the specific conditions.

True

But I was using the previously mentioned statement about hitting pavement. On ice not much rubber really matters. Still... I prefer rubber vs' less.

Totally agree about specific conditions AND driver knowledge, experience and ability also would come into play.

Alas we shouldn't get too off course here as OP stated snow traction
Not ice or deep mud holes.


I forgot to mention, regarding the AT's I have, I DID NOTICE that the traction on a wet road was NOT as good as a more street friendly tread.
I have been in corners where I did feel my truck slide a little bit where I would like to confidently say that the previous set I had on would not have.
It wasn't like I hit ice or anything it was more like just a little slide, say, 2" or something. Just a little. But the first time I felt it I was like.. woah...then I realized it must be the AT tread vs' the GY's I had on it previously.

The GY's had great traction but SUCKED for towing big time.
