OVER THE SNOW, FOUR-WHEELING FUN AND ADVENTURE -- AND
SOME PROTOCOL TIPS
By Del Albright
Snow wheeling, or over-the-snow 4x4 travel, is a lot of fun -- especially in good snow that allows you to float on top of the crust.
I recommend the first step is good snow-gripping tires like the BFGoodrich Tires KM3 Mud Terrain. Secondly, air your tires down as far as you can safely go. If you have beadlock wheels, then 3 to 5 pounds psi works great. Third, lock it up and go slow. Let the tires grab and walk you over the snow.
Protocol:
1. Follow the rules. Make sure over-the-snow travel is allowed where you plan to go.
2. Always avoid resource damage (like driving over small shrubs and trees).
3. Obtain a permit if it's required in your area.
4. Be extra courteous to other snow users like cross-country skiers.
Have fun. Be safe. And wheel that white stuff!
