Upstate NY here. Lots of snow lately. Cruzin to work yesterday through tons of snow like it was nothing. Then i got a look from a trooper. i could see it in his eyes..."i know you have a Hummer but slow down". These tires are too good.

Dura Trac 305s

 

He was in a Tahoe and kinda smiling at me...I'm not trying to give our Hummers a bad rap.

 

Plenty of ice and snow around here lately. For the couple times I've been driving on essentially a sheet of ice I'd have rather have had studded tires of any kind, but the Duratracs have been great. However, my wife's Subaru Legacy with Blizzaks is even better - until the snow starts to get too deep. I don't mind the snow or slush much, but when wet roads freeze or we get freezing rain like yesterday and the roads turn to solid wet ice, that sucks.

I'm over this winter crap, spring can't come soon enough.

 

All my Subaru buddies always say their cars perform better than my truck. Two different driving styles though. They like to "drift" and play in the snow. I just plow through to get where im going.

 

Regardless of the tires, the H3 is too good in the snow. I can't have any fun cuttin' cookies in the parking lot anymore. I miss my Rubicon when I could click on the rear locker in 2wd and send rooster tails flyin'!! lol

 

Didn't think of it from that perspective, but I hear you. Whenever I pull out of my driveway in icy/snowy weather I always like to check the roads by giving it some extra gas, then try to stop hard/short at the stop sign. A few times I've tried to do a bit of controlled sideways sliding, but traction control/stabilitrac (probably just tc) kicks in. I suppose I could disable TC, but I don't want to go sliding around in my neighborhood and I just want to test the roads to see how slick they really are.

Completely off topic - yesterday some guy drove by in a 280z (could have been a 240z/260z, I'm not an expert). Slipping, sliding, fishtailing.. Having fun I'm sure, but I wouldn't subject a classic Z to that.

 

TC off will do it!

In fact if you really try it will allow a 180!

 

We had snow here yesterday and people were stuck all over the place and I went over into the right truck lane since everybody was stopped in the outer two lanes and the police just threw up his arms in disgust as I went by in my H3. I have Yokohama's GEO Landers on mine and it is unreal in this stuff

 

I have to agree my duratrax are incredible.

 

I agree, regardless of tires, the H3 is a beast in the snow. But after throwing on a set of 35" Cepek Crushers, this thing is amazing.
