Snow Driving Issues

[FlightDoc]

I haven't had these problems, except yes, head lights could use warmers or something.
R1T quad with stock 21", no ceramics. No probs in snow and ice up here in Boulder.
Have y'all had ICE trucks before these? 3.5 tons of weight gives us straight up physics that we must respect.

headlights are a total hazard in snowing conditions. They need a recall and fix.

Lol.

I am guessing you have never spent a lot of time around my kind. It is very likely there is a significant cultural gap between us, so I do apologize if I offend.

For my part, I admit I easily run out of patience with posters who want to talk about things and places they have never been. I am intimately familiar with what it is like and how I need to prepare when jumping out of an aircraft at 15,000 ft wearing oxygen. It is quite easy for someone to earn my disdain by piping off about what they think about how that works, if they have never done that or been there.

So yeah, I do get curt with people when start freely giving advise while obviously not having even the base level experience to have formed an educated opinion.

But to your point, I'll take a break from posting as I have put the information there for anyone interested, but arguing the point fulfils no purpose.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming
?

I, for one, appreciate the perspective, especially after your context was further clarified. The concepts are important to know, even if I my idea of extreme off roading is pulling in and out of an unplowed condo parking lot (sometimes even at night!).

I have 21” OEM - would it be fine to go to Tahoe and back? No off roading or trails… just pure road…

Does anyone you suggestions for snow cables?

Has any one tried Michelin defender LTX M/S2 on snow?

I use defender series on Audi Q5 and they work great.

No idea why you decided to revive a 10 month old thread, but oh well...

Have you driven to Tahoe in the snow before? Are you familiar with chain control levels and how quickly road conditions change along the route? Assuming you're coming from the bay, it's definitely not the most treacherous drive out there but it has its quirks.

The key factor here is that CHP almost never issues R3 chain control (all vehicles must use traction devices). They almost always go from nothing, right to R2, then to closing the road if conditions worsen. This means you'll need to always bring traction devices with you, but will most likely never use them so long as you have 3-peak or M+S rated tires.
