Keep weight in the back over the rear wheels, sandbags work well.
Don't drive like an idiot.
Profit.

Bud, I just got some really expensive bfg's that I'm regretting. Budget doesn't allow. Sounds like the duratracs are nice though.
>>13754772
Haha, I saw that when I was in Italy and thought it was picture worthy

Sell the BFGs, dude. BFGs are pretty mediocre in the snow. Nowhere near as good as actual snow tires.

They're not. They're pretty garbage off road and only 'ok' in the snow. Go buy snow tires.

>buying tires for the writing on the sidewall

top pleb, op. if you're that poor you shoulda just bought some hankooks; they're almost as good, and you'd have money left over for winter tires.
You can get most of your money back by selling those on Craigslist, or you can drive into a ditch.

>implying I can't afford tires
Now that I've used the tire money, there's other shit I gotta pay for.
I got a good deal and bought em off some guy who's truck broke down and they were literally brand new.
Also, where exactly do you live where you can buy two sets of truck tires for $500?

You need studded tires and ballast for a 2wd pickup. No other option if you want anything resembling forward movement from a stop, the ability to drive up an incline or corner at any sort of reasonable pace. Mud tires have wide tread blocks and are worse than street tires on ice.

Done it with those specs but with 20% tread
Just pack bed with blocks, couple shovels, bag of ashes, and a come along.
Leave extra time and don't stop on a hill

That's basically nothing. We normally don't get under 300" a year here, sometimes over 600.
