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...

Aren't those closed lug ( hiway ) tires? Don't imagine they would do very well in mud and snow.

On flat ground in the snow they're wonderful. As soon as you get on any kind of grade in the snow they suck. I've got a 17% grade just getting out of my driveway and when the snow gets packed or slick, the 1600's are like skis. When trying to climb a decent grade with maybe one or two feet of...

sounds like you bought yourself an 'Ideal'...I had the same problem. I got my hands on a 'Rillfit' groover, cut like butter !
