On 33's and below not such a biggie but on those 35's well your gettin in the bearing wear zone there especially when we start talkin bout real wide ones.

Only way around that is an even backspacing that puts the tire centered around the bearing on the hub but for that to work you need a much wider axle.

IF your gonna do it go all the way!

What kinda snow you talking about. Like up and down the road snow or back country try to stay on top of the deep stuff?

35x9.5 or 10.5 for deep snow.

Sense I've had to pull guys with those size tires all over in three and four foot of snow I'm just wondering what brand of tire you use and how much air you run in them so you can do what no one I've ever wheeled with can do?

Its not opinion, Im sorry, thinner tires are better for snow while wider are better for ice. Theres no arguement, tests have been done, proof has been shown.

I'm familiar with Simex Extreme Trekkers they are great mud tires they may work in the snow but unless your doing something to them I've never seen before you wont make it as far as someone running a 13.50 inch wide IROC in really deep snow.
