COMP CUT BOGGERS FOR THE WIN :cheer::beer:

I cut all of my tires for the flexibility. I've been running 39.5 IROKS, & the difference is amazing. They bulg out & float on snow much better than a tire the cups or V's out @ 2 psi.
I break down the big lugs, & sipe them so they stick to my hand as I pull it across the tread. (I run trail only)
I have been running a D44 for over 15 yrs with 38 - 44" tires.
5:38's, welded front end
It's all in how you drive it! But, 39.5's I'd have no fear
Like & Kind
My all time favorite snow tire was the 38" Gumbo Mudder Radial. Typically a radial is softer rubber, & will conform to the snow with out digging, better.
Since they don't make those anymore, I went with the 39.5 bias IROK (on the rumor bias didn't matter for these) But cutting, siping, & mounted on a 13" wide wheel, I've gotten great floatation, & traction.
SO, I would highly recommend the 39.5 IROK for snow, & I encourge cutting for flex. But, taller tires can always get into deeper drifts better.
I'm going to mount a set of 42's this year, & see if I like the extra bulk.
I get around just fine on the 39.5s though. :awesomework:
BUT THERE'S ALWAYS A BIGGER TIRE OUT THERE.

I'm going to take these for a spin this spring.
44x21x15 TrXus mounted on 14" dish wheel, & cut the tread to flex.
They V out pretty bad @ 0, but cut, they've got a nice flat lay out pattern to cut some tread into.
39.5's on the right, & the cut pattern I use.

:cheer: 33x10.5 toyo mt's i ran them last year with my little truck and was super suprised by their performance (i had them at about 3 psi on stock 15x6 toyota wheels)
but for real trucks cant beat the 39.5 irok, I have been able to pull a truck uphill with a burnt out trans (dead wieght) on a hill i never would have thought i could go up alone

No offense, but I'm not listening to anybody who says Toyos are good in the snow. :fawkdancesmiley:

I will vouch for Toyo M/Ts too. They float surprisingly well in the snow. I had 31s on my 4Runner and it did just fine in the snow. I wasn't going to win any races with them but they are certainly respectable for the size. Can't wait to try my 35 PBR though.

i run 37" pbrs and my buddy runs 39.5 pbrs both bias and so far with the group we wheel with havent seen a better tire in the snow. we both run around 3-5psi with beadlocks. (not bashing iroks just never snow wheeled with any rigs running them)

Granted these tires do pretty good on the road, or a few feet of pack snow.
But, you won't be bustin trail through snow drifts, or getting up on plane floating across the deep stuff.
Hey now my Toyos worked great in the snow and so do my "extreme" procomps MTs So there :fawkdancesmiley:

any difference in the snow for a 42" sticky IROK vs. a regular 42" bias IROK? I'm just considering swapping out the old style 40" MTR's I have for a set of 42" sticky IROKs sometime and just run them for everything. My siped old style MTR's do pretty damn well everywhere I go now, though...

Had my 31 Toyos up at Tonga and Beckler multiple times with 5 of more feet of snow. I never really had a problem. Depending on the snow it can be a little more difficult to break trail. Pretty much went where ever I wanted though. It's not comparable with Iroks. I was just validating what 79chevy39.5 said.

The wider foot print, softer tire, most like nobbie tread will always rule in the snow. Floatation, conformation, & stick, no dig = DOMINANCE!
