2nd gen Tacoma Sport for deep snow

[Smileyshaun]

The tires don’t have to be huge but low psi and slow and steady will take you through a lot of snow but the deeper the snow gets the more aggressive tire will work better to help pull snow under the tire and keep you on top of it . The steepest hill you will ever climb will be the holes your tires dig . But the type of snow has the biggest impact on how hard it will be to keep forward momentum. Also vehicle weight plays a big part . The heavier the rig the more tire you will need to keep flotation up and stay on top of the snow .

Soft fluffy powder is the best , this was after about 5 miles of pushing this deep of snow with just a set of all season tires . But on any kind of hard packed snow the tires where absolutely worthless .

But like most everything you will get 100 different responses with plenty of examples to back it up . Find out what tires people are using for the kind of travel you are doing where you live and go from there . Trial and error are sometimes the only way to figure things out

The counter to that is the heavier the rig the better traction they get in hardpack and ice. I'm with ya though, lots of different setups can work pending the variety of conditions.

Pizza cutter tires (255/85/16) is my suggestion for Sierra cement. If it’s soft and fluffy, then almost anything will cut it. And, always back up a bit before stopping. That way you can have a running start. Once you’re pushing snow like a plow...good luck.
