Just wondering if anyone has driven a Sas in the snow yet on the stock tires?
In the past I had a CJ7 with BFG 12.50/33 mud terrains and it was useless to the point of terrifying in the snow.

We do not know anything about the Goodyear M/T tires but really wish we could get the BFG KO2 tires instead

Tires are Maximum Traction not Mud Terrain. If you have an issue have them sipped

I live in NH and deal with heavy wet deep snow. I’m more worried about them floating on snow and not digging in due to the width

That's a whole different issue with wide tires. My Jeep on 35's was horrible in the snow. Had to put 2 wheels in the ditch to go anywhere in the slick stuff. Toyo AT but not sipped

Wondering what tire size and wheels to go to for winter that won’t damage drive train. I used to drop down to the old g78x15 snows on my jeep from 12.50 /33 but had to change drive shafts because doing it ate the u-joints up so 2 sets of tires and 2 sets of drive shafts

I would think 17" pizza cutters that fit the rims -like a set of take off steelies. If was going winter set up Blizzaks. Tall and narrow.

Biggest you can get is 32" so I am not sure about running 32's with SAS lift. That is a good question. Iven the 32's are wider than I would like but you need a truck tire. I think it needs an 8" rim.

Brocno doesn't have mud tires and I've never had an issue in 20+ years of Colorado mountain/snow driving to worry about with 4wd and good all-terrain tires

I’m putting 18” steel rims with 33” Firestone Winterforce studded on mine I’ve usend them on my trucks for awhile now and always been good. They’re a lot narrower then my 35” Toyo’s.
