Re: Simple Yes or No needed please.....
Traction basically depends on the footprint vs the weight of the
vehicle.
You can sort of in a simple way look at the pounds per square inch on
the ground.
If you have a tire that is 'say' for easy numbers 6" wide and has a 6"
long footprint, you have 36 square inches on the ground.
Then you take a tire that is 12" wide and the same diameter so the same
6" long footprint. This gives you 72 square inches or double the
footprint size.
Since you have doubled the size and kept the weight the same, you now
have only half the psi on the ground or half the grab.
The tire now will break free and spin really easy.
When I off road, folks laugh at my CJ7 and it's 33x95. muds. Once.....
Then they spend the rest of the day trying to get to where I am sitting
taking photos of them trying and trying and trying to climb up that pit
wall...
I leave tracks up pit walls, they leave rooster tail marks....
I found the nice footprint for the XJ to be 225 or narrower for the best
grab.
Next time you are in some real bush, check out what the loggers and
other folks that work their drive. You will see tall skinny tires.
Same for the old military Jeeps. They ran tall skinny. You can bet if
fat tires would have helped those folks getting shot at get out of there
better, they would have used them....

I lost at least 10 mph in steering stability on the highway due to the
greater floatation of the 235's vs the 225's on my XJ.
It starts to lose control 10 mph lower.
On my CJ7 with 10.5" tread width tires, it lost steering about 45 mph on
the highway. With my 9.5's and their 7.5" tread width, I haven't found
the limit where it loses it. They will hold just fine at 60 mph which
is fast enough in snow.
Just did 10 hours of that last weekend. 10 hours in 4x4, 5 going and 5
coming back. It is nice to be able to keep up to the trucks, couldn't
do that with the old tires.
