Sorry I was too busy driving to take any pics, but I've got to say this BadSquatch is phenomenal in the snow! it took 4 1/2 hours to go from Colorado Springs to home which is about 130 miles and usually takes 2 hrs 15 min. I25 was closed both directions at Colorado City so we detoured about 15 miles on unplowed dirt roads - probably about 6 inches had fallen by this time. Not a huge snow but the road was icy from a previous snow storm. Lots of cars and trucks were having trouble on both the paved and unpaved roads. The Bronco handled it like a champ! The stock Goodyears seemed to do very well. Not one slip and we were able to maintain a higher safe speed than most other traffic. I was very impressed!

The reports I’ve had on the Good Years have been impressive on their snow performance. Which makes sense, that was a snow tire they sold in Canada and began selling here for the bronco and now a few other performance related 4x4’s.

Good to hear! I am about this close to dropping the hammer on a 4 door squatch Package for daily duties. Snow will be on the agenda.

I watched a EweToob clip on Iceland snow tires (super balloons) in deep snow in the states. Very similar tread pattern to the GY's and once aired down they did real well on deep snow.
