    With the wider tire your weight is distributed across a larger area meaning less weight on an individual lug. More weight per lug will allow it to "bite" more. I'm not trying to brag but in my experiences in snow there hasn't been anyone I couldn't follow but there have been some that couldn't follow me.

    I can't remember exactly what size tie you got but I think it's wider than 255. We should go head to head, you know for science and stuff.

    Me to get truck set up. I really love snow bashing. In the heaviest truck in the group without a winch and good recovery points, not so much.

    Yes I have and I was with Gramps at the time. You like to drift the taco through the snow. Oh there isn't anything on my truck that you cant fix.

    Austin sorry about the thread jack.

    A small handful of select mods.
    I will bring the popcorn and watch this shit show happen.

    So I am curious, if skinny tires are supposed to be superior then why does everyone air down to get a better contact patch?

    Oh and Brian's snow bashing driving style - No Fucks Given!!!!!
