Grooving my 11.00's for snow

[cranetruck]

Excellent job booger! Very professional looking result.
As far as wide tires for a float action, the xm757 did good on level ground, tires at 10psi and the track is 16" wide. Images show tracks in about 8 inches of snow. Even made it up the 12% incline without slipping, but conditions must be just right, no previous drivers (packed snow) and no side slopes. For mud, snow and ice, nothing beats chains.
Edit: Measured and corrected the degrees of incline.

Bjorn, WOW that's some truck ! Haven't seen one of those before. Snow condition is a huge thing, snow isn't just snow. Fresh snow, or snow you can make a snow man with is easy to get around in. After it's been exposed to the sun in the day and freezing temperatures at night for weeks on end, along with snowmobiles making a crust on top and maybe a little more snow on top of that...it gets pretty tricky. That's why I always prefer staying 'grounded'. Floating eventually ends up with 'sinking'

I let my 12yr old try the new tire grooving tool out on a old 16.00 Michelin XL Doesn't look to bad.He was trying to keep them straight! He did cut down some of the centers to help get some deeper tread.
