Honestly, I don't think winter roads in Minnesota are the best measure. I can't find anything on google earth as steep as my driveway within a thousand miles of Duluth. And my driveway is a far cry from anything "good" around here. I don't go in the ditch, period, but I pull a lot of tourists and transplants out, driving rigs I wouldn't allow on the property.
Nice outfit, Idaho, looks like you've put a shit ton of work into it. That's what we refer to around here as a California rig
Are you serious? Like Montana is any better, we get on average 80 inches of snow a year in my town, I'm not in Southern MN here, I'm like 2 hours from Canada, just as far North as you
I run 35x12.5's (I'm not saying these are ideal snow tires, skinnys would of course we better for driving on winter roads, but through actual snow not plowed rounds, and anything else, I'll take my tires) on my truck and don't go in the ditch period either, and have pulled out people, I think you are mistaking bad drivers with vehicles that aren't setup like yours. And if I did go in the ditch, I'd probably just drive out.
