    Switched tires to handle rain snow better

    So I recently switched out my 33x12.5x15 BF ko2s for 32x11.5x15 falken wildpeak at3w tires. I figured a more narrow tire for winter. I am noticing my jeep handles differently now as in a have to counter steer a bit more so it seems. Possibly need alignment looked at. Is it better to just get...

    KO2's in severe snow?

    So my Rubi is on order and I haven't driven the KO2s yet. I know they're 3PMS rated and many will say they're good in snow but I will be taking it to an extreme. 350-750" of snow per year, steep hills, sharp curves, cliffs with no guardrail. I'm in a very 3-dimensional neighborhood and my...

    Snow vs Jeep: Who Wins?

    So over Christmas the snow stacked up pretty high. In an attempt to go rescue my girlfriend from being snowed in down in town, I decided to take the Jeep to go get her. Not even 1/8 of the way down the dirt road to town I got stuck in my tracks. So I had to walk back to the house and get the...

    Does weight help in the snow?

    I’m going up in the moutains today (Oregon,Timberline) and I removed the back seat so I could have more space. However, I noticed last night how sporty my 2.5L felt because of the reduced weight. Felt like the car was zippy-er and could accelerate more. Being that this is my first snow driving...

    "Flat Tire"

    There is a sound that is coming from the rear drive train of the Jeep. At first I thought it was a flat tire but clearly not as I looked out and checked. The noise is a THUD THUD THUD very constant, only makes a noise when not in gear and clutch is released (COASTING) DOES SEEM to stop when...

    A sad day for my TJ

    I live in kansas and we had a nasty winter storm over the weekend. Sad to say my jeep became a victim when I lost the rear wheels and went into a spin and took out a lamp post. A substantial amount of body damage and an airbag deployment later USAA has called the vehicle a total loss. Real shame...

    Yeah, you really do need 4WD in the snow!

    It's quite a rare occurrence for it to ever snow in Portland, Oregon. It was snowing today and it was sticking quite a bit. I decided to take the Jeep out an somehow had myself convinced that I didn't need it in 4WD since the snow wasn't that deep on the roads. First turn I take out of my...

    snow

    This was after one snow storm in November last year. This year we only had 24" and most of that has melted. When it snows this much, it's an adventure just driving to work.

    Mud terrain tire that's good in the snow and rain?

    Does it exist? A mud terrain tire that's good in both the mud, snow, and ice? Most of the reviews I read about mud terrain tires rate them as being only 'okay' in the snow as well as the rain. I'd like something that is good in the rain (it rains a ton in Washington) and can handle the snow...
