I just swapped my Grabber AT2's for Wrangler MT/R's. Stopping in the snow is fun, to say the least. As long as there is something to grip the MT/R's work well, but on slick wind blown roads I'm out of luck. I had to drive my Rover out of its parking spot covered in about a foot of snow and it did just fine.
Cheers,
Pete

See now I dont have ABS, I have no problem stopping.
The key is light pressure on the brake pedal, just enough to start slowing down.
Also shifting into neutral will help you stop better, no power to the drive wheels = better stopping.

I hope some of the snow is left when I get home to Highlands Ranch on Sunday. I love playing in the snow with the rover. The short wheel base makes it a lot of fun.
Spike - I have to respectfully disagree with you. Shifting into neutral is a bad idea on slick roads. No power to the wheels means it is that much easier for them to lock up and put you into a slide. I completely agree with downshifting and allowing the engine to help slow the vehicle. Like you, my ABS is disabled so light pressure on the brake pedal and a good sense of when the vehicle is sliding so you can release them and get the wheels turning again is critical. I won't allow anyone but myself to drive my rover when the roads are snow or ice covered until the ABS gets fixed.
