What do you guys think of the super swamper Trxsus sts in 29x10.50 for just regular driving on gravel, snow, and mild trails on my 96 2wd dak?

Too wide for decent snow traction.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

I've always been told that a wider footprint is better on the snow? Does anybody have any oppinions on this tire itself?

Then you've been told wrong, if we are talking about snow on pavement. With a narrower tire, you will have more weight per square inch of footprint - giving you better traction. Not familiar with the tire itself.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

Yea,a more narrow tread is better in the loose powdery snow!!Thats why Snow Cats use W-I-D-E tracks and snowmobiles use that wide track for traction.

i had a set of the sts on a 99 dak. i ran 33x12.50x15. decent tire but they pack too much to be any good in snow or mud.i now run the trxus m/t and they are outstanding. they also wear decent on the street.

You must remember that the Madkow only operates in the peoples republic of Mass. The people of the rest of the nation know nothing of how to operate in snow according to MadKow. So all of us using wide tires in the snow(and pushing snow) just imagine that we are moving. Long live the madkow.

I had a set of truxxus mtrs on my 2003 Dakota they wore out
very quickly. 2 years or so. Not a very good tire for the price.
They do the flat spot thing when they sit over night in the cold
like a bias does. I think a set of goodyear all terrains will
make you happier in the long run and you can usually get
them at a buy 3 get 1 free deal.
