@Bajamug I should also point out that the very FIRST page google found agreed with me, but essentially told people not to do it for reason I previously specified, which is you cannot drive at high speeds safely like that.

And most people do not carry an air compressor with them, I do on the occasions that I plan on changing my tire pressures.

Again, be a lemming, have fun with that.

@Bajamug Two sites were "car" (lol) sites and one was yahoo answers, which has about a 25% chance of being correct on anything.

Most of those car sites are for old and barely literate people who do not know anything about cars, so they give them the easy, simple, and most legally safe answers.

Its like asking a car salesman about cars, they don't know anything, they only know the selling points that the factory gives them.

@Bajamug lol, I just did a google and yes they give mixed results. But primarily people are asking if they should run lower tire pressure all winter, lol. If you do that, your a fucking retard. you run normal pressure that you need for safe highway driving. Only a retard would run around the highway on 15 PSI.

You would only lower your pressure after you get stuck and you have no other options. Then once you're clear, pump them back up.

Either way, none of the first 3 were very trustworthy.

@Bajamug O, I know most people don't agree with me. Most people can't even pay their own house off, lol, so I don't worry about what "most people" do.

The fact is I know tire pressure has a HUGE impact on traction on all surfaces. Have fun spinning in the snow.

Google can be your friend, but only if you know how to read critically. And their is no substitute for experience. Sign up at a local ice race in the rubber tire class. Try different pressures, see what happens.

@Bajamug wow, persuasive, lol.

[Bajamug]

@l337pwnage I do not need to give you a thought out reply giving my point, YOU can simply type "Does lowering tire pressure create traction in snow?" And you'll be given 318,000 results, all of which in the first 10 pages I thoroughly searched explaining why lowering tire pressure for extra traction in snow does not work.

You're welcome to school yourself, then come back with some kind of witty reply claiming to be smarter than thousands of minds who don't agree with you.

@l337pwnage

Sorry, but you're wrong.

[l337pwnage]

@Bajamug well, I take it you never heard of a HMMWV with CTIS either? I couldn't find a CTIS demo, but a Tireboss demo works well:

If you want to argue that tire pressure does not change the actual coefficient of friction of the materials, you are correct there, but there is much more to traction than that.

If you want to learn about traction talk to, well, ANYONE, who off-roads, drag races, road races, or does any professional driving.

@l337pwnage

Lowering tire pressure with car tires doesn't increase traction, that's a myth.

i have mine for like three years now and since i live in nyc its rare that snow keep me back but this year its was on several occasion tempted me to use it.... so yesterday i install them for the first time and forgot how to.... finally go it on, i then drove home with it like 8 miles on the pavement because it was going to get snow today,I am wondering loudly is there any upgrade on this design?
