    Wet clay can be sticky yes? Haven't driven a truck in wet clay but have done it on both off road bikes and jeeps once the tires pack up it was like ice so kinda sorta

    I'm probably the wrong person to give input. The dampened clay tracks were faster than asphalt where I grew up. The old San Jose track was tacky when damp just right.

    clay can be sticky if its mildly damp, but i mean saturated clay.

    I learnt to drive on polished hardpack clay that was wet from days of straight rain.
    fairly well couldnt stand up on it, was that slick.

    I've never driven wet clay, but I'd say snow is comparable to good mudding. Take it slow and easy, don't worry about how fast other guys are going until you get experience. If you're chaining, you want them tight as a nuns cccc, and don't exceed 25mph.
