I initially had issues getting out of my parking spot with a 4ft snow drift in front of it, but once I got up in the deep stuff, I kept on the gas and the tires just started throwing snow like 4 giant snow blowers. It took a few minutes of back and forth, but I never got stuck. :D |
My '08 H3 w/Adventure pkg does pretty well in mud and snow with the stock Goodyears. However, I don't care what you have, when you get the wheels off the ground, you are stuck.
My friends let me go first thru the nasty stuff. If I make it, I can probably winch them thru if they can't get thru on their own. If I don;t make it, they pull me back out and we go another way. |

Use 4 Hi Lock, and don't let up on the throttle when you start to slip, let the stability/traction control engage.
If you let up on throttle when your tires start to slip, or use 4 Low, the traction control disengages. The traction control uses the brakes to "simulates" locking diffs at the front and rear axles, and should pull you through just about any weather that could fall onto the street. |

In '08 you might get Bridgestones or you might get Goodyears.

Some countries have laws that will not allow tires to be wider than the fenders thus 265/75/16's were put on those vehicles. The non-Adventures switched from the Goodyear RT/S to BF Goodrich Rugged Trail TA's in 09.
I found an H3 on the dealer's lot. It was pretty much exactly the way I would have ordered it with 5 spd trans, Adventure pkg, color exterior and interior, and all that stuff. This was in September. I noticed on the door, the sticker said it was built in January, so I figured I could get a deal on it. The sales guy admitted that he had not been able to sell it with the 5 spd. So, I bought/stole it. When I got it home I started looking at it and the window sticker. I noticed that it had the wrong size tires on it according to the window sticker. So, I called the dealer. He admitted that many months ago he had swapped the stock tires to a guy who bought a luxury edition. He said he would get me the correct stock tires. He said they came with "stones" or Goodyears, which would I preffer. I went for the Goodyears. |

I have the stock goodyears. Last year I drove through drifts as high as the hood on it after being leveled. This year, I go out of town my wife gets stuck in a snow drift, but at least she had sense enough to put it in 4lo and drove out
