[QUOTE="Mister Pinky, post: 1718022, member: 41592"] Don’t believe the previous posts. The stock K02s are Snow/Ice rated thus they carry the snowflake symbol on the sidewall. They’ll do just fine. The tire width however is what will get you as it tends to float instead to cut through the snow. Because the truck is wide, you will not be able to ride in the tracks left behind by other vehicles, which means you may very well be cutting your own trail which will reduce traction. I’ve lived in this weather all my life. The best advice I can give is gentle acceleration, gentle steering, gentle braking action well in advance, with expectation that harder braking action can and will cause you to skid. Beware ABS activation as well which will keep you rolling along instead of stopping. Don’t be afraid to bump it into neutral to stop or use manual mode to control your gearing on steep grades. Keep your eyes up and scanning to help anticipate what traffic ahead of you is doing. Leave lots of space ahead of you. And above all, for the love of god, please remember that 4wd gets you going. It does nothing to stop you. [/QUOTE]
