5 Snow Driving Tips! Important Things to Know About Snow Wheeling. Maximize 4Runner Snow Wheeling!

3 PEAK MOUNTAIN SNOWFLAKE (3PMSF) ALL TERRAIN TIRES vs WINTER TIRES vs CHAINS
============================================================================
In this video, I discuss only 3PMSF All-Terrain tires. Why do I choose All-Terrain 3PMSF tires? I do this because they suit my driving style. For off-road driving, they are a good compromise tire. True winter tires are not a subject of this video. While All-Terrain 3PMSF tires may provide some additional snow traction beyond what general all-season tires can deliver, they do not match the capability of a true winter tire for adverse winter conditions. The test to determine if a tire gets the 3PMSF logo is a straight-line acceleration test to measure traction on medium-packed snow. You read that right: the test is on medium-packed snow only. Soft snow, slush, powdery snow, hard-packed snow, ice, and other snow conditions are not tested. It is only a straight-line acceleration test. Braking and turning on snow, along with ice traction are not part of the test. There may be some degree of correlation between traction available for acceleration and traction available for braking and turning but as I said braking and turning are not tested. So, there is no data available on the braking and turning performance of 3PMSF tires. What really interests most drivers in severe winter conditions is braking performance, right? Sadly, no industry or government test measures stopping distances of 3PMSF tires on snow or on ice. Consumer Reports and similar groups may have some ice tests. It is important to note that the 3PMSF test procedure only tests for certain minimum standards. Again, it only tests for minimums standards. More precisely, the 3PMSF symbol represents that a tires’ traction is at least 10% superior on medium-packed snow compared to a generic all-season tire. You read that right: only 10% better traction for straight-line acceleration. The ideal solution is to run dedicated winter tires on their own wheels during the winter. However, please note that some winter tires are designed for on-road use only. So, you will need to do your own research on winter tires which is a topic beyond the scope of this video. It bears repeating that 3PMSF tires cannot match the traction of dedicated winter tires in winter conditions and should not be considered a replacement for a true winter tire. Also please take into consideration that some tires are suited for off-road and some are only suited for on-road driving. As a final note, it is recommended to carry a set of chains as a safety measure. I've tried to get this correct but please do your own tire research and choose the tire that best suits your driving. Always do what you consider to be safe for you and your family based on your vehicle and the driving conditions.
TIRE PSI - WINTER TIRES
====================
Some viewers have asked whether it is ok to deflate tires to get better traction while driving on the highway. Airing down is an off-road only driving technique. Never drive at highway speed‘s with underinflated tires. It is dangerous due to increased risk of rollover and poor handling. Also, when driving off-road, how much you can safely lower psi varies significantly depending on the tire/wheel combo you have. Please always do what is safe for you and your family based on your vehicle and the driving conditions. PLEASE NOTE: you air down to get more traction. Winter tires already provide said traction. So, airing down winter tires is generally not recommended.
WIDE TIRES vs NARROW TIRES
=========================
Wide tires provide more surface area. Narrow tires provide higher surface pressure against the road and so they cut deeper into the snow. Narrow winter tires are often a great choice. Narrow tires dig deeper into the snow which helps get to the road surface below. So, narrow tires can work better than wide tires in loose snow and slush on a paved surface. If you are off-road in snow that is too deep for your tires to reach the trail below, wide tires and airing down to create a larger contact patch may be preferred because there is less of a chance that the tires will dig themselves into a hole and get stuck. This is why arctic trucks run tires as wide as 475/70 R17. As always, it all depends on the snow conditions.

Been snow wheeling in the Mt Hood National Forest since 1968. Always found that a small square point shovel was my best friend. Sometimes called a sand shovel. Makes those divots you speak of go away very quickly. And always carry chains with me as a back up safety device. The chains i use are called ice-breaker chains and can be purchased at Les Schwab. They have small steel bars on the cross sections and grip the snow like the claws on a cougar. Love your red plastic snow boards. Light weight and do not take up much space in your rig. Safe wheeling everyone.

[@OverlandPNW]

Great tips! I've had a lot of good tips from viewers. I may have to do a follow-up video with all the viewer tips. I'll check out those chains. I don't like the hassle of putting them on but as you said, they are a great back up safety device. Thanks for the input and safe wheeling to you as well!

@@OverlandPNW - Thanks! Love your videos…even though I drive an F150 down here - lol. I almost purchased the Tundra TRD Pro though…great trucks! Taking my F150 up into some east coast mountains this winter and am trying to get prepared now. My 35” Toyo Open Country RTs are not 3PMSF rated, but I do have 4-wheel drive and sufficient ground clearance with a 6” lift…just trying to decide on whether or not I need chains. I’m thinking I’d rather have them and not need them vs needing them and not having them. It’s my understanding you should put chains on before you ‘need them’ - so I’m assuming that’s only if I plan to take the truck off road into the snow, correct? I wouldn’t need chains for normal asphalt driving, would I? If you have a video on when to put chains on, I’d love to watch that! Thanks! Excited to have a better rig than my three brothers that will be on the trip with me. Lol

[@OverlandPNW]

@@Financial_Awareness I'm a fan of Ford trucks. I had a F350 that I used to haul a travel trailer and loved it. I completely agree that having chains on hand is smart. It would be a bad situation to need them and not have them especially if you are traveling with family. In snow country, lots of people use chains during a heavy dump on asphalt roads. There are also a lot of highway mountain passes that require "traction devices" during certain times in the winter. What qualifies as a traction devices varies by state law but it is typically an all season tire, mountain snow flake rated tire, chains or studded tires (if allowed). Sounds like a fun trip with your brothers!

[@aboversite]

A few things he didn't mention... 1. don't even try a road like that without another equally capable vehicle and operator and a good reason to go. If conditions worsen you are putting other people and your wallet in harms way to rescue you. 2. New fallen snow such as we see here can allow some progress but even with good clearance, deep snow being compressed under the vehicle will take the weight off your tires. Then you are hooped. Scoop shovel time. 3. A little warm weather changes the consistency of the snow dramatically and it becomes much harder to penetrate and gain traction. 4. Its the wrong tool for the task. Too many people want to pass through "nature" without experiencing it. A snowcat, mountain sled, or backcountry skis are more the ticket.

@@David-rj1ru For snow wheeling, we go into (or try to go into) several different lakes. The roads are unremarkable forest service roads without snow but in the winter they are great for snow wheeling. What we do is choose any high mountain lake in the Central Cascades that has a relatively long forest service road leading to it (or to a trail head that goes to it). These roads generally go up hill toward the lake and the snow gets progressively more challenging. We always seem to find some fun doing that. By the way, your rafting videos were very cool.

[@adventurelifesam9357]

You should do a video explaining common “snow ratings” and what they actually mean. There are actually several snow ratings floating around that mean different things and have varying requirements. Might be interesting. #1 on my personal list of snow driving tips would be to know the type of snow conditions you are dealing with because the best tool for the job in snow varies quite a bit depending on the snow you are in. For example, a narrow (fully inflated) tire is actually superior in situations when there is a solid surface below a layer of snow that can be reached before the axles and undercarriage of the car hang up on the snow or if there is enough snow that it just compresses into ice under the tire. Skinny tire, less surface area, so there is more pressure per square inch to push the tire down to the solid surface with better traction. In deep snow with no accessible high traction solid surface the goal is the opposite and you want wide tires or tracks to maximize the surface area supporting the car, decrease the pressure per square inch, and float on top of the powder. Great video, I was sad to miss the trip!

[@OverlandPNW]

That's a great idea and it is actually a fairly complex subject. It also dovetails nicely with the "science" theme of the current video ha ha! It gets complicated because there are four types of snow crystals, a variety of different categories of snowfall, and several types of snow cover which may or may not be layered. That all distills into different road categories from black ice to powder.

[@andrewsnow7386]

@@OverlandPNW I agree, there are many different conditions. With different layers, different snowflakes, and the fact that the existing layers change with age, there are a huge number of possibilities. In fact, as a long time snow-wheeler, and engineer, I calculated out the number of different possibilities. It comes out to roughly infinity. :) There are two things I would add to your list for driving in deep snow (I'm sure you have done both of these, but I think they are counter-intuitive to many people new to snow wheeling): 1) In most (but not all) snow conditions, if you are plowing along nicely and your vehicle suddenly starts to bog down, BACK OFF on the gas, don't give it more gas. More gas is likely to make it dig in and get stuck, less gas will let it get back on top of the snow. 2) If the your vehicle comes to a stop, DON"T SPIN YOUR WHEELS. Spinning your wheels will create the divots mentioned. On my manual transmission, I actually hover my left foot over the clutch so I can push it in quickly to stops any wheel spin as fast as possible. If your rig stops moving forward, always try backing up first before spinning the wheels. 2b) The advanced version of not spinning your wheels is to always cut power JUST BEFORE your vehicle stops moving forward. It takes practice to know just when to cut power, but when done correctly it makes the odds of you being able to back up (instead of being stuck) much greater. Again, nearly every snow pack is different, so what works at one time will not work another time. Keep experimenting. Here's a video I found interesting on snow flakes. This expert suggests there are 35 different types of snow flakes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6CVe5mjaJqLm6c

[@OverlandPNW]

@@andrewsnow7386 I agree about the infinity types of snow conditions ha ha! Those really are great points and it underscores just how much there is to snow driving.

[@wachonichi]

Hey all from Canada, narrow tires are best in deep snow, the reason is simple, in snow unlike sand, your not trying to redistribute the weight, the snow cannot support your truck, your trying to cut trough the snow, that why large tires are not very efficient in snow they give more resistance and if you deflate it even worst. Over here winter tires are mandatory, so we have a lot of experience in dealing with it.

Just to correct you about the 3 peaks snow pictogram. For a tire to receive it, it just need to be 10% more effective on tamped surface than a 4 season tire. Also, Chinese companies can apply it on non-winter tire on demand, so yeah... don't rely on it to know if a tire is good in winter condition and do researches about your tires.

Loved the video. I am about 100 miles north of you and love wheeling and snow wheeling near Mt Rainier. I normally wheel as a lone vehicle. I have a few tips. I always, snow wheeling, carry 2 sets of chains. Never used them but peace of mind is great. Trick is not to use them until you need to. This way you do not go further in than you should. Another trick is to always travel up hill on the way in, if you can. Gravity will help you get out. I love my army shovel. I can "rake" the snow out instead of depending on gravity to keep the snow on the shovel. Square shovels and or pointed shovels the snow can slide off as you try to shovel out. Yes it is a short handled shovel which means you maybe on your knees. This means you should carry some sort of barrier, plastic or otherwise. Something you should carry anyway. Great thing is it does not take up much room. Final thing. Tire pressure. My YJ weighs in about 3500 with 2 people and a trailer, TC-3. I came up with this weight going to the dump and they scale you going in and out. I am guessing that the trailer weighs at least 500 lbs. So I weigh about 3000 lbs with 2 people. Matt's Jeep, the yellow banana from Matt's towing. weighs in over 4000 lbs. He ran 8 psi in his tires. So given the tire rating of my tires and weight I run 17 front and 25 rear normally. I could run lower but this I believe this is safe for me and have the best control on the highway. Off road, I believe that 8 psi is more than a safe pressure and believe I could go down to 6 psi and still be somewhat safe. This is me and me knowing my vehicle. As Overland said, you need to figure out what is best for you and your vehicle. Get your vehicle weight, that way you know what is safe for you.

Depends on the type of snow and the temperature. the last cold spell we had the snow was like gravel. There have been other times when we just barely got home with new studded tires on ugly snow just around the freezing point. Mind you this is on 17% grades. The other thing is to get into 4wd long before you have to. Don't wait till you are stuck on a hill to remember. Turn off traction control. It is not your friend in snow. It just slows you down and you do have to maintain momentum especially when going up hill. Carry chains. I have had to chain up all four wheels when a wet road changed to glare ice. When you have to pull yourself around your vehicle tires with a snowflake are not enought. Studded tires but they have their own problems.

Greetings from Salem! You guys are fun to watch--I like the brotherly pokes, playfulness and patience. I'm glad your wife enjoys getting out there with ya! Thanks for the great content and the helpful tips. I finally bought me a '13 FJ and I'm looking to make some off-road upgrades--preparing for casual (yet, decently challenging) off-road adventures--and searching for any helpful local resources which can help provide high quality service in assisting to mod my vehicle. I look forward to checking out more of your content. BTW, it was nice seeing you guys help free stuck motorists. Thanks, again, and best wishes this 2022 holiday season and always!

[@OverlandPNW]

Thanks and big congrats on the FJ! That's a great rig! As for local resources, I have only had a couple of shops work on my 4Runner and was disappointed on the quality of work. I ended up re-doing or fixing some quality issues. So, we do almost everything ourselves. As a result, although I know there are some great shops out there, I don't have personal experience with them. I have been asked several times. So, it is something I should track better. Let me know if you find a shop that you feel comfortable recommending. And congrats again on the FJ and best wishes to you as well this 2022 holiday season!

[@morpheus1818]

Great video!!! I encountered some moderately heavy snow today while on a 4 lane highway. The temp was in the low 20s. The roads became snow covered quickly and covered by 2 to 3 inches of snow (my guess). I drove in 2WD for a while but eventually switched to 4WDH. Later I added the MTS (sand, dirt, mud lowest setting) and drove the rest of the way in 4WDH and MTS lowest setting. Made it home with no problems. My question is, even though the lowest MTS is for sand, dirt, mud, do you think it was appropriate for snow as well? Also, I don't think there is a speed limit recommendation for 4WDH is there? For some reason 55 mph comes to mind...thanks for the great videos!!!

[@OverlandPNW]

Well done! Yes, I think the MTS Mud & Sand setting is generally the best for snow. To my knowledge, the word "snow" is only used once in the MTS section of the 4Runner Manual. On page 258 of the 2018 4Runner Manual, there is an MTS Terrain Type chart. It has a line for "Deep Snow." That chart shows the Mud & Sand setting as the preferred MTS setting for "Deep Snow." I have never found a speed limit recommendation in the Toyota Manual for 4WDH but I think 55 mph is a good one. Hope that helps. Cheers!

[@morpheus1818]

@@OverlandPNW Thanks. I think I remember reading that 55 mph or below was the speed requirement to shift from 2WH to 4WH and vice versa. Also I read (in some on-line 4WD article) to never drive above 55 while in 4WH (I think it had something to do with wear and binding on the 4WD systems). Thanks for the reply! Have a great 2022!!!

@@ottouring Thanks. You have a great rig OTT. Enjoy your journeys! 👍

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

The tire and PSI really depend on the situation. Higher PSI is actually better if there's hard pack and ice. You don't want floatation in that scenario. Also 3 peak tires which are usually an AT tire differ from full winter tires, which are not very aggressive for deep snow. I know every one craps on the duratracs but in the correct width and PSI for your rig they're great year round.

[@OverlandPNW]

All good points! So true that the tire and PSI really depend on the situation. I've had a lot of good input from viewers. I could make a second video of just great viewer tips. Cheers!

[@sebastian2357]

Actually, most of these tips are valid as long as you don't have snow chains. Chains are the game-changer in the snow, improve the traction around 10 times better so the track like you are showing in the video wouldn't be a problem at all and you would avoid bumping from one side of the road to another while driving. Nice video though, cheers!

[@OverlandPNW]

True about chains! In one of our other snow videos, one of our drivers put chains on his Jeep Wrangler. It was like a Jeep snowcat with those chains.

[@donbeary6394]

I always carry chains , but, I would rather not put them on ... hardly any challenge with them on 😉 I love driving in the snow and making my own tracks , even have a tread that works well in the snow (like the old Good Year Wrangler) in spite of my living in So Cal so it's not like I get to drive in it often .. I got the impression that the bumping was deliberate

[@daviddowty7743]

Chains don't do anything in deep snow especially when actually breaking trail

[@donbeary6394]

@@daviddowty7743 while I don't have any experience in deep snow chain use, I do know what you mean about traction without them on, far better to make your own tracks rather than drive on the packed down hard pack where several others have driven , I have also been surprised at how well you can do breaking trail

[@davecamilleri9411]

I love snow wheeling and have been doing it for over 40 years. I am also a tire junky and I have been selling them for over 35 years. I am always looking for the best snow tire for deep snow. Snow varies from location to location. I live in Wyoming and we have some very dry snow at times and it is horrible for any type of traction! I normally start with my Jeep at 10 psi and go down from there. My tire of choice is Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ in a 35x12.50x15. I am old school and I love my 15 inch wheels because I can get a very long tread contact patch and still have sidewall left. Several weeks ago I was elk hunting and we had about 8 inches of fresh snow, the snow was dry and what I like to call sugar snow, won't pack, can't make a snow ball and the only effective way to conquer it is with tires chains. I use ice bar chains that effectively turn my 35 inch tires into 38 inches. I spent several hours trying to recover some elk in high winds and close to two foot deep drifts that the wind would fill in my tracks every 15 minutes, horrible pain in the ***. It was nowhere near as fun as wheeling in heavy wet snow that packs good under the tires. I usually find that 10 psi is just a starting point and my Jeep does really well between 4 and 5 psi with a good wrinkle. I also have an atv with tracks that is a lot of fun but in the super cold months, normally January, the snow will be of the sugar variety and there are days when you can't even make progress with tracks or even snow shoes. Go home and wait for some warmer weather. My other must have for snow wheeling is traction adding devices in both axles. Right now I run air lockers, but for years I ran detroits front and rear. A tire that isn't pulling is a liability!

[@OverlandPNW]

I've heard great things about the Mickey Thompsons. The long tread contact patch vs wide contact patch is something that a lot of people do not consider when making a tire choice. It makes a difference. Great input. Thanks for the comment!
