Uncle_Al isn't fond of my input, but I drive my crossfire now only for the winter. And once in awhile I take it during the rest of the year. I have 17" wheels with straight snow blizzaks. I have a few vids of me ripping through upwards of around 4 - 5" and slamming through a 10" snow drift. If someone could host I will put it up.
One note, when the stuff gets too high don't go up hill and stop, as you will get stuck as once the momentum is gone, the crossfire can't plow the snow away with the front end. :-)
