Full of wet snow it is a bit too heavy to lift, but it can build a huge pile to push around much like a pusher. The edge cuts ice better than a plow, It pushes a taller pile than a plow, and piles more faster than a smaller bucket. Reduced visibility and not being able to swing it like a plow are the drawbacks. It's what I use the most when it snows. As for tires, a skinny tire has the same effect as adding weight: more pounds per square inch of contact area. It helps in some areas, but not always. Sometimes having a wider tire increases your chance of 'finding' traction when things are iced up, when technically a skinny tire should have more traction. One thing that is of no doubt, dedicated snow tread tires work. much better than standard chevron tread tires.</p></blockquote><p></p>
