Obviously it's possible to get stuck in snow or mud in anything, even in an H1 or a tank. I'm honest enough to say I had mud up to the axles once on the H3 and had to get help. Overall, I've been exceptionally pleased with the H3 and my few times in snow, I've really liked it. There are two schools of thought on tire pressure in snow - one says the higher the PSI the heavier the traction footprint, lower obviously gives you more surface area and better tread cleaning ( I like low, but not all agree). Mud and sand there is no discussion (go low), but if you want to have fun start this discussion with someone on snow patrol at a ski area in wheeled 4 x 4 or ask the Sno Cat operator what he drives to work and the psi. 4 Wheel Drive Magazine had a good article and tested tires on the same vehicle at different pressures in deep and shallow snow about 10 years ago - the traction differences were minimal and the conclusion was pressure didn't have as much an affect in snow as it does in mud, sand, or loose gravel. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
