Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
What kind of trail were you on that you encountered a Geo Tracker?
Sure it wasn't a mall parking lot or something? ;)

Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
It was in the mountains here in Az. About 8 inches of fresh snow, I think on
a bed of packed 2 or 3 inches, on a dirt road. I grew up in Missouri and
definatly know how to drive in snow, but on this day my Jeep failed me! Or,
more like my tires failed me miserably. They were PACKED with snow and it
took a ton of work to get my Jeep just to move a foot. When the tracker
passed me I noticed his tires were shedding the snow real nicely, always
providing fresh grip. Oh well...

Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
No, I don't think the geo tracker guy was much into airing down. Some young
kids it was... I hadn't aired down either though. I don't have any onboard
air and wasn't close to civilization.
