I saw a guy today with a big chunk of rock in his bed. Probably weighed 500 lbs. Being that I'm in NH, it was probably GRANITE!!!

In the last week I removed the 300 pounds of bricks I had stacked against the back the cab.

Brand new snow tires have a dramatic difference over half worn 235/75/15's. M+S tire. Even with the weight on the back and those BFG's they were crappola in the snow. Stopping distance was bad and fuel economy was suffering with the regular M+S tires. Ive owned all seasons tires that performed better in the snow.

With the new snow tires stopping distance is almost normal dry pavement. Especially without the extra weight in the back adding to my stopping distance. I am not counting ice in this. Saying such and such about stopping distance on ice is just not a good idea. It Varies. dependent on temp and ice type.

Take one of the worst types of ice. Black ice. unless you have Steel spikes sticking out of the tire there's next to nothing you can do to stop on this shit. The real solution to black ice is to avoid it. If it cannot be avoided then get Off of it ASAP. If that means putting the truck into a curb to dump speed .. thats what you do! the Side of the curb has more traction then the black ice. USE IT. ok im rambling bed time !

don't put a darn thing in my bed. I just rip back on that short stick if i start to slide or fish-tail, and bingo, straight line, no problems.

I dunno about that, my 2wd ranger handles better in snow then my brothers 4x4 edge. It's all about the weight and tires.

[erocka1982]

i was so excited about getting snow up here so i could try out my new trailcutters....i was not impressed i should put my wranglers back on but theyre too small now....oh well i put my fiberglass tonneu cover on there. that weights prolly 175 lbs.

 

[adsm08]

WOOT!! 3 inches and its still coming!!

 

[Hopman]

Guys, remember: It's not just the truck, it's the driver too.

It looks like we'll be getting only about 5-6" outta this dtorm in NH.
