I thought the only real nightmares in Michigan were Gretchen Whitmer and Antifa. In that order.Take it from the people who live in states that get alot of snow...TJ's suck on slick roads. The light weight and short wheelbase make it a nightmare.

How about deep mud?I look forward to meeting any and all Jeepers but it will never be near SNOW.
+1 on that. Couldn’t have said it better myself.TJs suck in the snow, period. Our Subaru Outback runs circles around the TJ. Welcome to the joys of a short wheelbase, an old school 4WD system, and no modern electronics.
You need a good snow tire for the snow such as a Blizzak.
We're good for 3-6 feet up here in the mountains with icy conditions and highway management departments that are totally clueless about how to keep roads clear. They treat sand like its gold dust and hate mussing up their blade bottoms by actual scraping.You need a good snow tire for the snow such as a Blizzak.
We're good for 3-6 feet ...
That’s hilarious!
We had a Toureg that had Hakkalapitas and it was the balls - unstoppable in the snow, but I think that was car not the tires.
Indeed it is! Good call.I think I know what you are saying here but "unstoppable in the snow" may have been a poor choice of words.
What I expected was: A "Jeep" / 4X4 / tires with a lot of very big, deep tread / 6 speed, & lot's of ground clearance to be a bad ass beast in the snow / better, much better, then my AWD Benz sedan ...........it certainly looks like it should be better............I guess I expected too much
I think 33s come in limited flavors for 15” wheels and I’d run BFGs KO2s in that size. We’ve got BFGs on pretty much everything at this point and it’s the best true all-season all-purpose tire that I’ve come across. I think Goodyear upped the ante w Duratracs, but those don’t come in 33s as far as I know and I’ve got no recent experience with Duratracs anyway.So what 15 inch x 33’ inch tires would you recommend for snow and snow in wet pavement ?
General grabber x3? Good or Bad?
BFG K/O?
Anything you can recommend ?
What about a 16?
I had Duratracs on both of my JKs. 33x12.5x15I think 33s come in limited flavors for 15” wheels and I’d run BFGs KO2s in that size.

That said, my BFGs are down to 5/32nds and I might retire those from winter service at this point. If I go w 33s, then it’s a new set of BFG KO2s. I might drop to 31s for winter months and try something else - more choices in that size and my dumb OEM gearing set-up prefers the smaller diameters. (3.73 w 42RLE).
