, means more tread in contact with the ground and that might be part
of my traction problems.

W/o looking at the spec, I'll bet about 14 psi will be recommended.

Even more significant will be adding some weight if you're pulling
something...

During the icy season I had a board laying across the fenders under the
seat with a 70 lb bag of sand on each side . The fenders weren't quite wide
enough ... with the added weight and the chains , I was able to clear our
road to the highway so everybody down here could get out . What I need is a
couple of 2-3" thick steel rounds I could bolt to the wheels . Bet it
wouldn't spin then !

POP! And oh-so-easy to R&R, eh?

Are you using chains in the ice/snow?
