Your perfect snow build?

and unsubbed

Good luck OP

 

Yes, much better in the desert as well. The bacon gives your muffler more traction.

 

Agree, per fixed time 1cm will "dig" into ice deeper. I put dig in double quotes because its not actual dig its rather process of melting. (studs are great example of dig into ice. they do puncture ice, and it is why they are mounted very often on super skinny tires)

Melting is the part that needs to be avoided. Once contact layer turns into liquid friction disappears.

 

I offered to buy skinny tires to mount on your truck and put you on slab of ice to prove me wrong, ....
You declined...
If you believe in what you saying you should have no problem proving me wrong.

 

Yea.. I agree this is getting dumber and dumber.. I'm out as well..

 

Oi. Why does the stud dig into the ice?

 

It's harder, and there is a lot if force pushing it into the ice.

 

If the tire was as hard as the stud. Say made of the same material. Would it dig into the ice?

 

Best snow tire EVER

Also the first snow tire EVER

Depends on the tread/weight distribution/size/temperature of this metal tire you're describing.

 

Anyways. I'm getting to Carrie away with this. Point I was trying to make was that the smaller stud will "dig" into the ice more than a whole tire for a given weight.

That the principle us skinny tire guys are trying to convey... Again to be noticeable there are many factors. The best example is slushy snow on a highways. There is a noticeable difference between a 235 series and a 285 series.

For deep offroad snow of course the larger surface area is better. On road though the opposite is very true.

 

Obviously you are retarded and do not understand physics.

But if you are going to stand by your claims via YouTube videos so be it.

As smart as you think you are there are always smarter people than you. And if you can't learn from other people then that is your problem.

 

The problem is this: there are countless variations of snow. Powder, slush, corn, wet, heavy, dry, fluffy, etc etc. While the hilux does really well in deep powder, I only see it going through deep untouched powder so for that application, yeah I agree it's best suited, and definitely most awesome. But for everyday driving, every tire shop up here will tell you one thing: a narrower snow rated tire will perform better than a wide tire. Some mud tires use a softer compound which can perform WELL, but is still outclassed by a devoted snow tire. I have just finished searching tire rack and was unable to come up with a 285 that was rated for winter. Isn't that strange? BTW I've lived in Alaska for 26 years so I'd like to think I'm an authority on our conditions. Bottom line is nothing we all don't know, there is no magic tire that will let you off road, play in the rocks, dig into the mud, boost your fuel economy, and be silent on the highway. Different strokes for different folks.

 

I eat yellow snow

 

Lol ^^

 

all goofing around you guys should end the pissing contest and listen to the pros who actually plow the roads and deal with untouched virgin snow on roads like OP is asking about

Consensus from the expert pro's SKINNY

end thread and but hurt lol

 

I won!!!

Once you have lived in Alaska, you will understand why ALL OF THE PLOW TRUCKS RUN SKINNY TIRES! I understand that I am going to run skinny tires! Any other suggestions?

 

Here is something for those people that want to run fat tires during the winter. Next time, cut your pizza with your forearm.....then try cutting it with your pizza cutter. Tell me what the out come is. On wider tires, the weight is distributed in the center of the tire, and the rest is to grab something if needed. If you actually notice on a tire, that actually has some miles on them, notice that the wear pattern is in the center. Not so much on the edges unless your camber is screwed up.
