I would like to trade 8 months of heat, humidity, sweat and bugs for some of this, please. Kthx.

Looks like that should be a really capable set up, short of a Kyosho Blizzard.

Nice I’ve got the same tires for when I want to hit the mud or snow. No lift kit though. Did you have any problems mounting them to the wheel? I had to dremel an improvised bead in mine, which ended up working well anyways.

I make trails in my yard and woods with my snow shoes. And I make 'mountains' with my snow blower and shovels... My neighbors must think I'm crazy!
