I hope y’all don’t feel shamed after viewing my pimped out truck. 97 dodge with 340k on her

Carl, do you guys have studs on the winter tyres?
How do they handle without being that heavy or does the softer compound and heavier weight add to the friction, making it less likely to slide?

This was my first car,(not the exact one but couldn't find a picture of it) couldn't stand it by the time I sold it but wish I still had it. Was basically a go-kart with a stereo

Just as a counter to all those heavy duty pickups, I'll show you what I drove for decades.
I've had 4 of them over the years.
When I went gypo 20 years ago, I sold the last one, which I have regretted ever since.
But money was scarce and I needed something that could pull a trailer.
The dogs absolutely loved it in summer, when I took the tarp off.

Those Méharis fetch very tidy money these days.
They are the vehicle of choice for the fashionable coastal second home owner in France, used to ferry his leggy trophy wife and children to and from the beach and elsewhere.
The white ones with the deck chair striped seats seem to have the most caché.
The earlier the model the better.
In my area, roads are more likely to be snow packed/ice covered than dry from December to March. Studded tires are the best thing I have driven on in light trucks. Soft compound tires don’t stay that way forever in my experience.
Driving heavy trucks in winter, we run chains once we are off the highway, or on any incline.

Similar concept.

STI? Subaru?
I have studs on the winter alloys for my Audi. Great fun to drive in the snow. Especially good fun in car parks if you accidentally turn of the traction control.
No studs on the Hilux though. I thought it best at the time as I was going into Oslo a lot and the tolls were quite high. Sometimes I wish I had them but most driving winter tyres with the softer compound seem to work.
Thanks, Cory.
We grapple and chip brush, use forestry mowers as well.
Whatever the project calls for.
