Im just curios about this. My old 2.3 Ranger had 14' wheels and small tires and my current 06 Ranger Sport has 15inch p235's. On a slippery boat ramp what kind of tire size helps more small or bigger?
I learned very quickly this winter that my sport had less traction in the snow/ice because bigger tires tend to "float" on the snow where smaller skinny ones dig into the ground better for more traction. With this truck I put winter tires and did the trick.
Now my question is on boat ramps in the summer which is better? to have bigger tires or smaller ones?
I know the Sport is heavier obviously so that will help it but I just want to know the answer regarding which tire size has the advantage on a boat ramp.
