    M35A2 vs. M35A3 In Snow and Ice

    I've never heard of automatic tire chains on military vehicles, but no reason they wouldn't work. However, that is an expensive option.

    M35A2 vs. M35A3 In Snow and Ice

    Another advantage of duals is if you have a flat on one of the rear 8 tires and not a lot of cargo weight, you can still drive.

    M35A2 vs. M35A3 In Snow and Ice

    I drive my A3 deuce in the snow every winter, but only when they haven't laid salt down on the road. Driving in the snow isn't that bad. What I hate is driving on ice.

    We have about 10 inches of snow on ice here. I have a lot of experience driving M35 trucks with conventional NDTs in winter conditions, both in the U.S. and in Germany while stationed with the 3rd Armored Division in 1970-71.
