I'm going to be buying some 37"x12.5" tires for my JK soon. Road manners is not a concern as I have a set of pavement wheels/tires that I commute with. I won't be using bead locks, so I probably won't be going below 5psi in the snow.
Ive seen the pitbulls work well in slushy/semi deep snow on wil's rig, but I can't run a 42" tire. I've seen the intercos work not so well in deep powdery snow, but these were only 33" tall and running 30psi.
I have a feeling that the pitbulls are going to work better in rocks, mud, clay-dirt etc, and deep snow, while the intercos would work better in light icy snow or packed snow due to the siping. The pitbulls have a much more spaced out lug patter that I think would clear better when in conditions where they can dig in.
So, can anyone offer experience with either tire in a similar size ? 33's are a bit small for snow wheeling, I assume the 37's will barely cut it, but that's all I can really go for without spending $$$ on bigger axle setups.
