I got about 8" over night.... Hope you got it at your place Peter..!! We have about 20" on the level now and it's settling a lot and getting to be a real challenge if you're out in the field, I bet..!!

Hope U guys have fun and get some more snow..!!

Ps... Teeco will get stuck, I bet... Be nice and pull that old guy out...!!

 

Take a look at the nitto terra grappler g2, similar tire to that and ive heard good all around performance

 

We will have to stick together out there. The Tacos may leave us behind!

 

Sure thing.... Are you in for the BBQ as well? We're doing a head count for @Thyces

 

I think my truck may be up there in weight to yours....worst case I have a winch and really worst case I can get a backhoe.

No one left behind!

 

I don’t think so, im over a 2 hour drive one way. So ill be deciding Saturday morning if i want to spend 4+ traffic hours driving. Dont want to commit and not show

 

I'm about 2 hrs as well.... but I'm going!

 

I could always bring my backhoe to dig out your backhoe as well.

Watch it! That phrase is under copyright....

 

Your coming from Kitchener. I’m in Milton. About 20-30 minutes away from ya. Wes is coming from north bay and Leo is coming from Windsor! Just do it!

I’m all seriousness hope to see ya there. If not I’m sure there will be another one

 

I am leaning towards the Geolanders as well, they got some favourable reviews.

 

Really? all reviews are great in them?. I heard of the nikian but these are the only ones I can get

 

I'm in the middle of setting the truck up for next summers Swisha trip and am a bit behind with gear. I don't have any recovery gear yet so I'm hoping I won't get stuck. I'll buy you guys beer if I need extraction...LOL Most of the stuff is in the garage waiting for install while the rest I'll be ordering in the next couple weeks.
I'll put all my tools in the back for the snow trip, should help with traction.

 

You have front + rear lockers and factory Duratrac tires. Why so worried?

 

Wear your thermal pantyhose, ladies: it's gonna be -20*C.

 

Are we eating indoors or by the fire?

 

You guys think weight in the back will be vital? I could throw some trailer brake drums in the back...

 

Ko2s are having great reviews because people haven't tried better tires (most people ride shit brands anyways), plus looks.
I have like over 20+ wheels in the garage and went thru many different sets of tires recently, so in my experience if you strictly need highway tires go with Michelin LTX M/S2 (they lasted me over 100K kms and still 40% tread left), if you need winters get Nokians (mine have 65K on them and 50% tread left). It also depends on what size you plan to run, the weight of the wheel, etc.

Visit KalTire, they sell nokians.

 

If you have weight at the back you won't be able to do some fun wheeling... aka donuts.

 

Since the snow will be deep, it may be better to be lightweight and air down, so you don't sink as much...
Just make sure you have both front- and rear tow points. Here's an album link to last year's run. Plenty of recovery all around: https://goo.gl/photos/U85f2jnT5WFC1JUw8
