Coming all too soon here in SE Idaho! In fact, a bit of the white stuff in the forecast for the storm arriving tonight/tomorrow. In my younger years I actually looked forward to the challenge of messy (and obviously dangerous!) roads. Put the pedal to the metal in my VW Beetles! No more! Hey, lived in Sin City in the '60's...Alright folks it’s about that time of year…..let’s see everybody’s LITS(LandCruisers in the snow).
I get awfully jealous living in Vegas…so do me a favor and let’s see your LCs in some white stuff!
that sounds good to me! It’s way too hot here. I grew up in North Dakota so I’m used to driving in white out conditions lol
Welcome to the forum 24WCPrado!
Pretty much the deepest snow was what you see in the pic. They seem to do better than KO2’s on our 100. We may try to make it down south where they’re supposed to get multiple feet this weekend.
Safe travels.
I get awfully jealous at the thought of living in Vegas! If I ever see snow again it’ll be too soon…. & of course here it’s coming all too soon.I get awfully jealous living in Vegas…
I haven’t seen snow like that since I left Idaho a decade ago.
KO3’s have had 4 sets of KO2’s on our 100 and will never deviate from the brand/model. Great in all conditions except ice. KO3’s seem to do better in the snow, but I don’t have a true 1:1 comparison. Our 100 is 2500 lbs heavier.
Never have needed snow chains. I drive in deep snow often with where I live, if it’s ever super deep, I just air down to 15-20 psi which allows me to go 30mph or so which is the max speed you would want to go with chains anyways.Any recommendations on snow chains or alternatives?
It says no chains no the owners manual.
Were you using snow rates tires?
Yes KO3’s. I would upgrade before making that drive that time of year. I have been in some super sketchy drives around that time of year in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas.
This most likely is going to be a one time trip. We live in Dallas and does most city and highway driving, was thinking about wearing out these stock tires before any update.
You could get lucky and the weather might be fine, but there are so many areas it could get bad I also couldn’t recommend making that drive in December with any of the stock LC tires. I wouldn’t do it without some at least 3 peak rated.
