Let's see, in my '83 mini truck, I ran 35x14 boggers grooved and a bit more worn in the middle than the sides on a 10" steel wheel. Ran them @ 4 up front and 2 in the back. They were sick in the snow. I believe the added wear down the middle allowed them to float a bit while the outer part of the lug kind of paddled the tire along.

Then I ran a 36 SX on Hummer wheels. No grooving, 3 psi in front and 2 in back. If I was crawling, they did pretty well but too narrow for full on assaults.

On the Cruiser, last season I ran 38x16 TSLs grooved and siped on 10" AL wheels. Ran them @ 2 up front and 0 in the back. Never lost a bead. They did decent but the Cruiser's short wheelbase (88") didn't allow it to really get on top of the snow.

This season I'm on 42" TSLs, grooved, on another set of Hummer wheels. I'll be running probably 2 up front and 0 in the back again but the stretched wheel base (109") I'm suspecting will allow me to get on top better. Hopefully find out in a few weeks.  :driving:
