Hi James
Great photos. Thanks for posting them. Last year was my first year with the TA and I couldn't wait to get snow photos to post on here. By Christmas we had over 3 feet of snow and much more to come. I couldn't get the TA out as the barn was snowed in, so no photos. This year I would be embarassed ![]() Cheers from No Snowy Castleton, Barry

I know what you mean, Barry... as much as I've come to hate winter, I've been waiting for a massive snowfall in order to crank my jeep into 4wd and put those fat 32" tyres to work. As a result, we have NO snow on the ground in Toronto... {sigh}

I hate to tell you but fat snow tires are useless..they ride up on top of the snow and tend to snow plough..skinny snow tires ,on the other hand ,dig down through the snow to ground or gravel and grip there ..not on the snow..skinny tires also cut through the snow while fatties tend to snow plough and burn heep big gas and get no where..stick to skinny snows if you want traction..keep your fatties for looks.. ![]() ![]() ![]()

I had a 1980 Chev 3/4 ton 4x4 that I used off road all winter. I found that a 10" wide 16" grip tire worked best by far. Any smaller and you weren't getting the power to the ground and any bigger just slowed you down by pushing too much snow and gas mileage took quite a hit too. The taller tires give you ground clearance but wide ones won't ride over most snow conditions anyway.

Hi James,
it's good to see you're having a lot of fun with it. I have helped the first owner restoring your C15TA (1988-1989). I'll send him the snow photo's. It was a real basket case when it was found in Holland. Enjoy the rides! best regards, Roland |
