Wheelies and top speed
#1
Hey can anyone pull wheelies good in the snow with their stock tires? If so how much air are in them? Also I got clocked at 65 the other night by s car. All I have is K&N and jet kit. Do you get better traction with less air

I pull wheelies all the time on a blaster with bald stock tires in the snow/mud/gravel. And 4x4 trucks do it all the time to get better traction. It's called "airing down". It makes the tread spread out to cover more area, thus, giving more traction.

Then how come during the winter when there is snow and ice, trucks with wider tires get less traction than ones with skinnier tires? More weight concentrated on a certain area giving more traction with skinny tires? Yea, that sounds right!

Trucks and cars use skinny tire in the winter for 2 reasons, First is because you dont want to float when driving on a snowy road, second because it robs horsepower trying to push all the snow out of the way (aka plowing) Watch out when airing down your tires, 2 much and you will get flats way easier..
