I don’t have snow rated tires and I’m interested in what I can do to improve traction on wet/snowy paved roads (other than buy new tires). I have a four door 2018 JL Rubicon and am running Nitto 35” Ridge Grapplers (35x12.50 R 18LT F) with 20K miles. Just seems like I slip/slide more than I should. The grip definitely improves when I shift into 4H, but I wanted to see what advice people have to improve traction in 2H assuming the outside temps are in the 10-35 degree range (Chicago area) on paved roads that have slush and/or a couple inches of snow. Should I air up (high 30s or 40) with the concept being to push down to the road’s surface or air down (mid 20s?) to float over the surface but grip the slush/snow? My next tires will be snow rated, but I’m trying to buy time with these for now.
