I am interested in your thoughts about tires for deep snow. Snow varying from a foot of powder to very deep packed drifts with a crust of ice on top. Many of my ventures are early season w/ powder and packed powder while my favorite exploration lies in the spring crawling through trails covered with several feet of compacted snow. Floatation is key yet the want for a more street friendly narrow tire without compromising my addiction for deep snow exploration.
For referance I am looking into the 33-34x 11.5-12.5" tire range and am open to 15-17' wheel sizes. The taller end being narrower for fitment. i currently have 305/70R16s (33x12") BFG MT KMs and have been happy with their snow performance but am currious to your thoughts about a slightly taller but narrower option as well as different brands ect. I have done a bit of research but found little on this type of travel in specific.
Example of a common spring time outing, snow surface is apx 4-5' above the ground:
