Ontario BS Thread

when I was out on my trailer last winter I was driving through snow that was up to the cab deep and I had no problems driving around the campground in 4x4. the only time I got slowed down was going up hill. I still managed to crawl forward tho and that was with the same tires as you. like I said, they haven't done me any wrong so far

 

I have those too, and every other bell and whistle as well controlled from the heated SW and the big screen TV in the dash.

 

Snow is fine, but now do the same on the black ice, can’t beat winters in that condition.

 

snow tires will not save you on black ice lol been there done that, totalled my pathfinder

had to cut down the trees behind the truck so we could tow it out backwards, the second pic was after cutting some trees down.

 

Friggin right it was low, I was pushing so much snow it was stupid. Look how low it is in comparison to everyone else. I am sitting on the snow.






ALL CHANGED THIS YEAR!

 

They don't save you if you are driving like crazy lol, but they stop wayyyyyyyy better than all season tires, trust me (especially if you pump the breaks instead of trusting stupid ABS), tested in a real life condition back in January.

 

hahaha I wasn't driving crazy but I get what you mean hahaha and I agree about the stopping compared to all seasons, all seasons are garbage lol pumping the breaks is the way to go for sure. sometimes I hate the ABS lol I have almost rear ended a few people because of it. I was on pure ice in my work van and I was trying to pump the breaks but ABS was like no your going to keep going forward lol

 

But 4x4 won't do a thing for stopping. That's why a dedicated winter is best

 

but its 4 times the stopping power no?

I don't disagree but I don't drive my truck on a daily basis to justify the expense of winter tires. I have a work vehicle so most the time my truck sits all week without moving haha

 

How are winters in mud?

 

I run Toyo AT2 right now and they are ok. Quiet on highway, good in rain and snow. In snow you need 4x4 if its it's heavy.
I would buy them again but I want to try something different next.

 

Who's going on a road trip?

G to the Arbage

They do not self clean mud and just become slicks in no time.

 

terrible lol.

 

nathan from core is parting out his taco and selling his bumper same price and located in collingwood area.

 

And comes with the winch and lights.

 

and the possibility you'll be asking about it for a month + and never receive anything then need to fight to get your money back

 

So even ARB's quality powdercoating rusts? In Victoria where they don't put down road salt?

 

Your stopping power is limited by the tires.

The only annoying thing with winter tires - the ones designed for ice (X-Ice2/3, Blizzak) pack up easily in deep snow, while the deep-lugged tires (Duratrac, STMaxx) are not as good on icy/slushy pavement. Duratracs with studs would work well in both conditions, but are not road legal in southern ON.

 

My Snow Tires saved my ass on the first snow fall going home on 400 this year . I daily drive my truck 120km a dayBut then again I have a bed full of tools usually. So there’s weight. Black ice is black ice your fucked either way.
