Roger,
Following up on: "... Depending upon the Black Friday sales, I might get ..."
Well, I added to my fishing equipment. The sales were good, so I went all the way with the best of snow tires and the best of sand tires and I even bought another extra set of wheels for the snow tires which came with a car attached to them, so on snow and ice days or for ice fishing, I have a choice of changing the wheels or just changing the keys in my pocket.
I did consider the off road bumps and jolts and the vehicle is certainly built strong to handle rough terrain well and not just crawling either, so to realize and enjoy it's potential, I oversized the tire selection to maximum diameter and width. With greater tread depth on the snow tires and 2800 pound load capacity per tire, the larger diameter will increase my ground clearance and go over roughness, bumps and holes better with less risk of damage on the snow covered off road trails.
Then I figured I can go so far from civilization in winter off road conditions that no one would be able to bring me a new battery should my weak one fail to start the engine in the cold, so I bought new AGM batteries for both vehicles. No need to stay in on snow days!
Now, I'm all set for ice fishing and working on surf fishing plans.
I agree to not be speeding in winter driving conditions in traffic on public roads, but it will be fun to improve winter driving skills with speed on a snow covered race track. Aside from fun, those skills combined with high vehicle capability will further increase winter driving safety when on the road with a mix of vehicles and drivers that have some that make it dangerous.
