Wisconsin area events- COMING SOON! Lower Wisconsin River kayak camping trip! July 25-27

It'll probably look more funner

 

It will be a different experience, for sure. I'm wondering how much trouble the snow will give us. I know people who do serious snow wheeling use very large tires. If it's too deep we might need to skip some areas. This is definitely a trip I wouldn't take alone!

 

You're going to have to put your other set of tires back on.

 

What sucks is that the mud tires are sketchy on packed snow and ice, but I would rather have them on once we get into the deeper stuff.

 

run 2 of the mud tires and 2 of the AT tires in opposite corners!

 

LOL! I bet my differentials would love that!

 

It's only money!

 

@Thatbassguy somewhere in the back of your mind you're thinking about regearing anyways

 

Hey! Stop it! I'm supposed to stop buying stuff for awhile.

Not quite yet. Once the 4Runner is paid off and I have another vehicle to drive cross country and run around town, I hope to move up to 35's and regear. But, who knows.

 

Definitely bigger tires and a regear

I am in for the 29th I will probably be coming from Antigo which is about an hour west for there. I can email my neighbor on snow conditions if that helps. I am hoping to be at my Cabin next weekend so I will know how much snow is in my driveway.

 

Funny just the other day I watched a youtube vid on snow wheeling. Running really low tire pressures much lower than normal is a biggie.


So are we thinking the pipeline or the twat? Looks like the 29th might work out for me

 

I'm thinking Pipeline.

But, I might like a T.W.A.T run in March, when it's sloppy.

I was thinking the same about tire pressure. We'll need to experiment to find it how low we can go without worrying about losing a bead. I have gone as low as 15 on the 295's, but I know some will go down to 8-10. It will obviously vary by tire size and type as well. Without beadlocks, I'm hesitant to go much lower than 15.

 

I have a can of starting fluid I'll bring along for reseating beads if needed.

 

I've never seen that done in person. I don't necessarily want to, but it's good to have the option.

 

I've never done it but seen grandpa do it a few times on the farm years ago. .

 

I wish there was somewhere close to home with some unmaintained roads to experiment on. I've been locked in the house all week and would love to go for a drive today or tomorrow.

 

Oh hell yeah!!! Setting a bead with fire has long been something Ive wanted to do. Not sure why, but this is something that I think I need to do to feel complete. Of course that’s assuming flying shrapnel wouldnt take out an arm or something like that lol.

 

@McSpazatron you're obviously volunteering to debead one of your tires

 

265/70-17s and 10PSI….here I come!!!

So do tires have residual pressure after the “poof”?

Im imagining that the amount of starter fluid you need to spray is where the trick is.
