On Ice, narrow or wide you will slip and slide LOL  |
On a tire that is only 12" tall, it doesn't matter if you get 3" of snow at a time, or 200". You will have the same issues. Geography plays no part in it, unless you live in the south where no snow falls. Ice is ice, and snow is snow. I never saw any advantage, wide or narrow tires. They will all slide on ice and snow. 90% of how the tractor handles, is dependent upon the operator.
