So what do I do if I have Sasquatch factory 35” mud tires? They aren’t snow tires and pretty sure where we are going requires them to be carried in car

They aren't dedicated snow tires but I am pretty sure they are 3 peak rated, which should meet the requirements

In California, M+T is considered a snow tire - it does not need to be 3PMSF rated.

I think Badlands and Sasquatch OEM Bronco tires meet that minimum spec.

That said, you may still required to carry chains in CA, you just won’t necessarily have to stop and equip them - which is occasionally required.

There are a lot of various options - depending on price and availability. If you are looking for something to just throw in the back to stay legal and hope you never really need them, or something for serious snow wheeling that will hold up to abuse - the price and capability and durability run the gamut

Thanks for explaining I was getting so confused if it was a snow tire or not. I am In CA so I guess I’ll just get a pair to throw in the back to have for when it’s required to have.

I would like to offroad in the snow, for that I guess I should get snow tires?

Your stock tires are great for off roading in the snow.

Agreed. I run the stock Goodyear's on my Badlands and they're fantastic in the snow. It's gotten me through some really deep, fresh snow with zero issues. Have gone through the mountain passes in a blizzard and the Bronco stays firmly planted on the road - Handles everything like a champ!
