Crazy how many people think MT tires are good in the rain and snow.

If you weren't lazy as fuck and took the garbage the 50' some feet down your driveway then you wouldn't have gotten stuck

Good informative video but get rid of the stupid background music.

There is nothing good on ice, people think 4 drives are invisible, they have limitations to.

Nice video! I like the look of those tires on the XJ. Could you tell me what size they are?

I have a set of BFG KO2 tires on my 4x4 Comanche, with the factory rear LSD. Its managble in the snow, but doesn't do nearly as well as my old BMW M3 with an LSD on snow tires or Civic Si with LSD on snow tires. Tires are everything when it comes to traction for a specific situation.

My BIL was really happy with some strap on traction devices he got for his truck. They just wrap around the tire and wheel in 4 places and get cinched up, no rolling back and forth to wrap a full chain set.

Have you taken any apart to see what is happening inside these pumps.

So my RWD 7000lb pickup with 65psi tires is screwed. Good think I don't live where it snows.

my blizak dmv2's do much better job than that on sheets of ice.

It amazes me how many ppl think "Mud Terrain" tires will be awesome in the snow and ice....smdh...

I live in eastern Washington. We have 2 mountain passes that get closed continually in bad weather because Seattle residents refuse to by winter tires and obey the chain up laws for 2 wheel drive. My drive is way steeper than that and I get up fine with Cooper snow Claws. It's a hassle changing tires winter and spring but worth it to stay out of the ditch 🙃

I checked this on a 2008 jeep wrangler Sahara and it changed to hours thanks for the tip😊

Great visual example. Maybe you need winter tread shoes too lol I saw you sliding a bit there.

Why tf do u use a car to put your bins to the road?

This video should be mandatory in areas with snow. I can't tell you how many times I walked right past 4WD vehicles in icy / snow conditions driving a $500 Honda Civic with $500 worth of decent winter tires.

Hi! Thanks for the video. Now 2 years later, is the BMW part solve the problem ?

I live in MN and drove an 07 JK for 12 years. I had 35" Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's on it. Performed exactly like it was expected to after a large fresh snowfall on unplowed streets and highways. But on an open icy road or highway I ended up having to driver much, much slower than even the small wheeled Toyota and Honda coupes and sedans. It's because mud terrain tires offer less tire to road surface contact than all terrains, winter, and even regular road tires. Those large knobs on mudders are only great for griping and tearing into soft terrain to claw your way up hills, over stumps, through deep snow, and mud.

Lol

I understood one thing. If you always drive on the same road, and potholes start to appear there. You need to buy 10 bags of crushed stone and fill them there. Because even having installed an expensive spare part, it will still break and fail. Because the road is broken and potholed .

Yeah driving in winter without winter tires is illegal here and frankly I'd put it almost equal to drunk driving. Also I've literally driven through deeper snow than that with a Honda CRX I used to have with just basic winter tires. Perhaps not as heavy snow as this but it still says a lot. My old CR-V probably wouldn't bat an eye at that

Screw in studs

I'd be more convinced if you used different tires on the same rig. How do we know the wrangler doesn't have traction control? How do we know you didn't drive one a little more gentler than the other. I have used both all terrain and mud tires in all conditions and have had good luck with both. Also, what was the temperature difference? Wet ice will screw you every time whereas colder dry ice conditions are a lot easier to drive in.

I will agree the angle of the hill is hard to determine but damn does it ever appear to be a skill issue watching this.

Great demonstration. Thanks!

You have some shit tires. 37" nittos or bfg, bot worked great on a 2500 with full time locker ice and snow down south.

Siping and grooving or use AT's

No tire is good on ice duh

Suzuki, Jimny would have made it😅

Thanks for posting. Mine did this last week (-30) and this was a quick and easy fix! Took less than 5 minutes.

Wow I can't imagine having to deal with such a horribly incapable vehicle. I live on a hill and regularly deal with ice. Mud tires on every truck and have never had an issue. Had black ice yesterday did have to use 4×4 to get up the hill but didn't slip at all once 4×4 was engaged. The hill I live on is a steeper grade the one in this video. Because there is no way that a person could walk up or down it without falling. Jeeps are crap only good for collecting rubber ducks

Not exactly the whole story! Your JK jeep has traction control that can not be 100% disabled even if you wanted it to be. The XJ does not. Also your JK weighs much more than the XJ.

improving alignment in newfie is "straighten er' out"

Years ago in canada many of us had small front wheel drive cars with good winter tires for our ski hill trips

40 years of all seasons hear in Canada. No issues.

Even in the summertime, is he really firing up the truck to haul trash those few steps down his driveway? Just walk! Also, is he operating the red one with its mud tires on public roadways? I don’t think that’s right… Real winter-only tires with studs are the tool for this job regardless of how macho the the vehicle they carry is. A beat up econobox could have pulled it out.

I wonder if there's a reason that they call them mud terrain tires and not ice terrain tires.

I run a set of studded aggressive off road winter tires on my 4x4 in the winter. Goes anywhere I need it to.

For ice, you need studded winter tires.

I've had someone argue with me "mud tires are fine in the snow they're better then snow tires". Ha ya ok I dont drive my 4x4 jeep out of town with mud tires.

northern ontario bro here. my drive way is 100ft down hill towards the highway. heated weather cord or ice melt cords you use on your roof will thaw perfect tracks for what ever vehicle you drive in like an hour then add a bit of rock salt and you just turned your ice hill climb Olympics into something manageable. cheers

During snow/ice: Winter Tires>full time AWD>Low weight of the car>Power>Rear diff lock

I just found your video and I’m gonna check this on my 2016 Rubicon, very weird that it only leaks and leaves a puddle underneath the washer reservoir with some slushy chunks even though I’ve got -20° washer fluid in it and only when it gets below 5 to 10° F. you would think it would leak all the time. But it seems like the consensus is the cold makes it leak.

No matter how good the tire, it will not be good on ice.

Yep totally expected! Sad part is all ya really needed to do was put a little sand on the ice and you would have had no issues. With the snow tires you could have tossed a bit of snow on the ice and got traction as well.

Air down.... And the tires need to flex anfter airing down and not just be aired down but with still rigid sidewalls. The tires need to flex n squat.

Zappa rules!

Ice is tough, but any good snow tire is better than a mud tire.. basic fact: very cold makes for better traction. As far as driveways, or any road, sand is the answer; doesn't eat up the vehicle or the road & when it makes it's way back to the stream, can be recycled😁 Ed c

Trying to explain to my coworkers why I am putting new tires on my brand new truck. Need to send them this video. I'm getting three peak rated tires. Beyond "all season" and better than M&S. This girl wants to drive in nasty conditions with the best possible tires for slippery slopes

Try the Firestone destination XT. Tbey are awesome on ice and snow.
