Nice.

 

Agreed; great footage but that rednexploitation twangy shit noise gotta go lol. (please don't take that personally, to each their own I guess)

Thanks for helpin those folks out and reppin the taco.

Ryan most people don't air down for snow afaik...,..ya wanna cut down to where you get some grab lol
Now off-road Arctic adventure is another matter. They ride on balloons I think.

 

lol at the music (the lyrics coincide pretty well) most people dont know to air down, i personally have never needed to but it is a good idea

 

Jokes on you. You drove your taco in all the snow and salt and now you got frame rot.

 

the real question is: are you supposed to air up or down for snow/ice?

Different people have different answers and nobody seems to agree.

 

Unsalted road ftw gotta love the south! Airing down makes the most sense cause you get more surface area on the tire

 

loved the video and music, airing down would only help with deep snow offroad, where you want flotation to stay on top and keep from high centering. On icy snowy shallow snow on-road you want to keep inflation normal I think

 

That's a badass truck ya got there

 

That's what I was thinking, but then I've heard people say that airing up the tire helps bite through the snow and get to the pavement. Then they say airing down causes more floatation over surfaces causing you to slide everywhere. Idk man.

Also, they didn't salt the roads there? They did here in TN.

 

that video is full of win.

nice truck

 

Looks like the sedan left it in park while you were pulling it. lol. Repo duty.

and some of those vehicles with their tires should not have been driving in the snow in the first place.

as for airing tires down, if you do not have winter tires made for freezing temps/ice, then yes, airing your tires down can help. Its a balance between enough surface area to bite, combined with enough pressure /sq inch to gain friction. Winter tires are made from a softer compound, with sipes that give more biting edges that are flexible on the surface. Airing down non-winter rated tires, might give you a more flexible surface, and put more edges on the surface to gain traction, but if there is not enough psi on the surface, then that will limit the available friction.

 

That's the worst song I've ever heard and I love country music.

Good on you for helping, though.

 

Skinny tires for snow is what I've heard

 

Just for future reference, it's easier on your diffs to tow going foward. Gears are only cut for foward strength.

 

Good to know, makes sense for sure!

 

and less risk if something were to break off the towed vehicle its going to come through the windshield at you.

 

But again, this is only what I've heard. I don't know anything about that snow stuff lol

 

I run 31x10.5x15 and do just fine
