narrow vs wide tires

More rubber on the ground is usually a good thing, especially with the soft dirt around here, and the tendency to have hardpack snow that you don't want to dig into. the downside IMO are road manners and fuel economy, as my Jeep sometimes doubles as my daily driver. Now that I'm driving the car to and from work more, and when my situation changes for the better I will be getting a pickup that can be used as a driver/tow rig, I'll go wide on the Jeep fulltime.

Daily driving on ice, go with a narrower tire, 12.50 or less. More pressure + sipes > ice.
