[QUOTE="Trail Beast, post: 1525288, member: 20205"] I cut all of my tires for the flexibility. I've been running 39.5 IROKS, & the difference is amazing. They bulg out & float on snow much better than a tire the cups or V's out @ 2 psi. I break down the big lugs, & sipe them so they stick to my hand as I pull it across the tread. (I run trail only) I have been running a D44 for over 15 yrs with 38 - 44" tires. 5:38's, welded front end It's all in how you drive it! But, 39.5's I'd have no fear Like & Kind My all time favorite snow tire was the 38" Gumbo Mudder Radial. Typically a radial is softer rubber, & will conform to the snow with out digging, better. Since they don't make those anymore, I went with the 39.5 bias IROK (on the rumor bias didn't matter for these) But cutting, siping, & mounted on a 13" wide wheel, I've gotten great floatation, & traction. SO, I would highly recommend the 39.5 IROK for snow, & I encourge cutting for flex. But, taller tires can always get into deeper drifts better. I'm going to mount a set of 42's this year, & see if I like the extra bulk. I get around just fine on the 39.5s though. :awesomework: BUT THERE'S ALWAYS A BIGGER TIRE OUT THERE. [/QUOTE]
