Default Snow.
What does lifting your jeep do to the capabilites of driving in the snow? Biggers tires = Better in the snow?

not so much as the lift, but the tires help alot. big skinny tires cut through the snow. big fat tires like to float on the snow..

I noticed my 30x9.5 did better in the snow then my new 33x12.5. Lift don't do much. But tires do a lot.
