I would have to disagree with you on the wide tires sucking in the snow in deep conditions. Once the snow gets to deep to dig down to dirt/pavement, you have to be able to float on top to go anywhere. The only way to achieve this is by using a wide tire aired down to spread the weight of the vehicle out across a wider footprint. This is the same priciple used in in snow shoes. With my AT's aired up/down I have no problem controling my rig in the snow, with them aired down I can go anywhere I want.

I agree with you about the swampers, they really aren't designed for the snow. A buddy of mine had bought a set of 36x15.50's for his truck, he got stuck constantly, the tires just dug in to much, he also couldn't control where the rig went like your neighbor's jeep.
