Re: Snow and Ice....

I run a second set of wheels for snow/ice with Blizzak W965 tires (265/75-16 load E). They stick like glue on snow and ice without needing studs. I've passed Subaru's going uphill.

I have the W965 Blizzaks. They're smaller than my BFG's (265 vs 295) but the snow/ice traction is awesome! I hardly ever use 4x4 for plowed roads. I pass Subaru's and Audi's going up the hill...

It looks like the main culprit on this one is the Dana factory. The pre-load on the pinion was not set correctly - just a bit too loose. It took four attempts to get the new pinion bearings/shaft...
