Skinny tires dig into mud and snow, while wide tires float on sand and rocks. Mike Melton breaks down when to use each: go skinny for muddy or snowy terrain, wide for sand dunes, rock crawling, or water crossings.
Which tire is better off-road? Is it going to be the skinnier tire or the wider tire? Now, your skinnier tire is going to be better in like mud, snow, and like you lose dirt. And your wider tire is going to be better in sand and rocks. So when you're like mud and deep snow, stuff like that, what these things, they really get in there and they dig better than, than like a wider tire. All right, before we get back to the video, if you're looking for a set of these Toyos and you're in or around our area, don't mind driving, you can look them up on our website stwdirect.com or just give us a call, 704- 240-9075. Let's get back to the video. So like your wider tires, you know, they kind of, they kind of float more, right? So, so if you like in water and stuff like that, they tend to float more than a skinnier tire. So if you're in mud, deep mud, thick mud, stuff like that, you're going to want a skinnier tire than you are a wider tire. But if you're in sand, sand dunes, stuff like that, you're going to want a wider tire and not a skinnier tire, because right here you will get stuck with a skinnier tire. And if you're in sand, you won't get stuck if you got a wider tire. So basically, if you're doing any kind of like rock crawling, sand, anything like that, go with your wide tire. If you're going mud, deep water, deep mud, stuff like that, you're going to want to go with your skinnier tire, all right? That way you don't get stuck in either situation.
