    Tires may be part of the equation, but ground clearance is typically more important to avoiding getting stuck in the snow.

      Definitely important, but in my experience with good tires and patience you can basically plow the snow out of the way

        Getting enough snow jammed under a vehicle will high-center the vehicle. If the tires can’t touch the ground,it doesn’t matter how good they are.

          Good tires prevent you from sinking down into the snow in the first place. You can have 5 feet of ground clearance but that doesn’t help you in 6 feet of snow.
