    When you park you have to move the truck back and forth for ten or fifteen minutes. Sit for two minutes pull forward ten feet. Them back up 5 feet ect.... The tires are hot and will melt the ground or snow ect....

    Ahhhh, good trick, buy couple gallons of -25 washer fluid, put in hot vehicle to 80-90 degrees, pour under drives.

    Im guessing the rubber froze to the ground and then it was essentially insulating the ground even at 45 degrees for a few days then eh?

    That is very good to know


    By the way, in future, posting a picture would be handy, at present im picturing one side of your drives being submerged 6 inches in mud and the other on dry pavement. Would have been a dead giveaway

    Yea I should’ve
    Some tires were in snow some on dry yes
    But they were solid frozen which even the torque wouldn’t move them
    I guess from hot to extreme cold
    N if they deflated they stuck even more
