They wouldn't move on wet ground. My truck has an all terrain tread on the tires and I have had no problem with them.

You're the type of people I pass going up the pass, lol. Funny seeing those big trucks in the ditch and me just cruise past in my little low ass car, lol.

Wider tires=wider path of resistance.
A buddy of mine used to have a Silverado with all terrain truck tires on it.
At the same time I had an escort with pizza cutter tires on it.
He would get so pissed off because I could get around in the snow better than him.

Because with a 17” tire you can have more contact pressure running a narrower tire.
Deleted my longer reply...
talking snow and suv... not mud or snow and 3 ton logging trucks on mountain roads..

Never been in a ditch and where I went the plows didn't show up often on the roads. I hunt on logging roads where they don't go. Narrow tires wouldn't cut it. There will always be idiots that think a 4WD will let them stop quicker also.
Ice on a plowed road I get, in my situation they are not practical and I would end up high centered.

The track on my sled used to be picked close to that. If I nailed the throttle on pavement, it would get pretty tore up. I can only imagine what a vehicle with picked tires would do. Lol

You don't go anywhere in an accord when it's really snowing. You don't have the clearance for it......I'll take those fresh tracks lol

Never saw an Accord out in the woods either. I'd like to see one try to go over a water bar on a skid trail, lol. I'd probably get out my strap and pull them off anyway, as I giggled. Had to talk on the CB on the way in during the summer to keep from getting run over by a logging truck. There were times we were probably 30 miles or more from a paved road .My old xj had Arb's.

Dude I lived in Tahoe for years man. I know all about Sierra Cement and I love it. It sticks better to rocks and all that shit. But dry powder is nice too.
It would snow 6' in 24 hours or less at least once a year.
Ya you got first tracks, lol. Don't get me started man, lol.
My favorite mountains are actually the Sierras and Cascades, since they're newer mountains with less erosion.
I've only ever ridden in North America though. I'd love to check out some other places. AK would be cool to check out too, I've never been that far north.

That's cool bro. But you're not getting out of a driveway in VT lol not without a shovel or going early and staying the night.
Lol ok not this year though.....we have no snow yet lol

Well of course I'd have to shovel out my car when it dumped 6' overnight. I also learned to keep a shovel in my trunk just in case. I had a nice one back there that I borrowed from Sugar Bowl,
I seriously doubt it snows as much in VT as Tahoe.
