just went out in it with my roommate in my blazer and his XJ. its lots of fun out there right now. snow is wet and slippery. 4x4 cyclones allday. now just waiting for shackles for the blazer and some new tires to come in.

 

Mine did good for the most part. Although I did loose control once after screwing around and hit a mail box. That was in 2wd and with bald tires. I was also got packed in with snow from the snow plow when I was parked on the street. The snow was pretty damn deap and I got out of that without much problem. That was also with the bald tires. I now have some good tires so I hope I can do better this year.

 

I dunno what kinda tires yall runnin but my jimmy in 2hi on snow or ice is useless. any sort of incline is impossible to get up.

wednesday morning I had to leave for work at 4:15am to drive 220km to work. And just my luck we get freezing rain and a dusting of snow. Well lets just say I went in the ditch once, almost twice.
was freaky!!!!! I never want to do that again.

I eventually put it in 4hi and it was alot better, but some spots looked like dry pavement, so I wasent sure if it was a good idea, but I'm not taken anymore chances.

 

If there's not much snow... and a lot of freezing rain, then drive in the ditch, lol.

My BFG's do good on snow and.... passable, on ice... They're too wide of a tire for good ice grip...

 

I need better tires for winter

 

I plan on picking up a set of Yokohama Geolandar I/T's in a 215/80/R15 size... Apparently meets the load rating for my truck, and is about the same OD as the stock rubber...

 

My 2001 Blazer takes235/70R15

 

Ahhh, a little different than mine... Mine came with 235/75/R15... When I went to price the winter tires, the tire guy didn't believe me that my truck came with those, lol. He thought I had the 70 series...

You could always go to a 225/75, it's pretty much the same height as the 235/70...

 

Not sure what kind of tires I would want to go to

 

It all depends on what your winters are usually like...

We get a lot more ice than snow, usually, so that's why the BFG's are gonna be on the shelf for awhile...

I'll probably squeak by a little while by lowering the air pressure in them for now...
