Re: BFG AT's or MT's better in snow?
LOL!
Yup, but I have to swap Jeeps too....
Around here, give me my tall skinny muds on my CJ7 over the AT's on my
Cherokee in any winter driving. On or off road!
During the ice storm last year I followed around my Boss in his service
truck to make sure we could get to the job site or out of it. I have an
XD9000i winch on front.
I have 33x9.5 muds with a 7.5" wide tread on the road and they grab
'really' well!
I keep tearing up engine mounts and exploding hubs and cracking frames
because they just don't spin so things twist and torque up...
