JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Ok, here is the question, how are these in snow?
Not off road snow, on road snow.... I have not driven mine in the winter yet and was wondering if I should put my stock goodyears back on?

Nitto and Toyo?

I have them but haven't used them in snow yet, looking forward to it this winter.

If both sets of tires have good tread depth and open tread pattern, then the narrower tire will work better in the snow. Save your wide tires for mud and loose dirt.

I turned mine off with the AEV Procal. Well, turned them to zero. So basically off. I don't even have the tpms sensors on my new rims. Haven't had a problem. Of course, AEV has to cover their butt by saying that the zero setting is for off road use only. Lol.

The dealership can turn them down for you. Mine comes on at 28 now.

Did your dealership charge you to do that?

Yup, not only that, I was thinking that each tire tread was such a solid block it may not be as good of a grip on the road.... No proof but just my logic. Solid block tread on an ice road is as good as a ski on a hill.
