We had only 1 inch of snow when we started so we chose to NOT run chains, big mistake!! Later in the day we stopped on about a 15 degree uphill to wait for the vehicle in front os uf who was having a hell of a time. After 5 or 6 tried they cleared the obstacle of rock steps at the top of the run. We stopped about 50 yards below to give them a wide berth should they slid down the road towards us. Once they cleared the obstacle I let the clutch up and we instantly slid sideways about 1/2 off the road. Apparently the place I stopped had about a 5 degree side tilt to it as well as the 15 degree up tilt. With no chains on the tires and about 5" of snow on the ground those 49" IROKs turned into surf boards. We missed the trees!! We slid neatly in between one in front and one in back by about 10 feet on either end. I think if we had never stopped we would have been OK but stopping on the upgrade was a mistake. Better yet, RUN YOUR CHAINS ON ALL 4 TIRES IN SNOW. Safe wheeling to all.
