Deep snow driving with 35" x 12.5" Toyo MT's??
 

Haven't been through any really deep snow with these yet... How well do they perform in deep snow? What tire pressure would you recommend?

You have to air down pretty low with the Toyos to get any decent traction in deep snow. They are really stiff and heavy so they sink. I would say 10-12 maybe lower in the deep stuff to try to float on top of the snow.

Thanks for the reply and the advice.

I didn't know Toyo's came in a 35x12.50? I thought they were all either 13.50s or 14.50's in the 35 and 37 size?

Good to know!

I've run them on two jeeps over several years and they are about the best all around tire. They do AWSOME in the snow (but I run the 13.50 width)...

Is 3" considered "deep snow"? :rotflmao2: Thats about all we get here so I guess I should be fine with those or the Nitto Mud Grapplers (the two I am debating on)

3" is not deep snow.

I wheel with guys that run 35X12.5 Toyos in deep snow. Snow, mud, whatever...Toyos just plain work. Regardless of what tire you're looking at, the key in snow is tire pressure. this is especially true of the Toyos as they are "E" rated - they don't flex as well as a C or D rated tire at 15 or 12 PSI. For my money, they are very happy at 9 psi.

as mentioned, you need to go low, really low with toyo's. we run our 40x15.50's on a 20" wheel and even when we air them down to 8 psi, please still give us crap about not airing down enough. hell, there've been twice now that we've driven with ZERO psi in one tire by accident and, it looked like it still had about 8-10 psi :crazyeyes:

if you have bead locks, i would recommend going closer to 4-5 psi on deep snow. if not, you'll want to stay closer to 10.

+1. The guys that I know with beadlocked toyos run at about 2 psi if they expect any mud or snow.

I have 35 12.50 17's on the Rubi.
I encounter various depths of snow, from 1'-5' on bad winters. 12psi is my magic number.
My 2 cents. Gets a decent amount of flex on the sidewalls.
