I could be wrong, but I believe
@Powdertrax grew up in an heavy snow environment and could not imagine how many yrs/mileage he has under his belt of driving in snow conditions. I didn't think he was asking about snow related driving suggestions, but just a general air pressure for his wheel and tire package in normal conditions. 🤷♂️
I live in the PNW where we really don’t get much snow, but I drive to the mtns once a week during the winter. I’ve driven in snow from Washington to Wyoming and came across some very sketchy/scary conditions, I love telling some the stories but they take way too long to tell/type.
I will tell one of my favorites even though it wasn’t necessarily scary, but could’ve been dangerous. Me and my friend Hank were heading to HooDoo ski bowl in central Oregon from north of Seattle for a snowboard competition. At that time my snow car was a ‘83 Honda Civic wagon 5spd with a set of killer Toyo Snow and Rally studded tires. Neither of us had ever driven that direction so we were going by a map (yes map), since we both worked that Friday we got a late start to central Oregon. I have no clue where we were but it was about 1am and beautiful clear sky with a bright moon heading up a canyon, it had also dumped about ten inches of fresh snow on the road ahead of us without a single track in it, yes we were breaking trail and you could feel the snow running under our feet on the floorboards. I didnt at anytime think to myself that I should turn around, I wanted to board the next day. We drove for about another hour and came up on a ma’ n pa’ gas station/store and noticed a Jeep locking his hubs, and a couple other rigs chaining up, and at that time my Hank said “dude we should pull over and put some chains on“, I said “what chains” and we made it to our cabin and the competition
