Tyler,
Mr. Bloom has given you the orginal tire size and type ,9:00x16 non-directional military tread which are on the average, 36"
tall.
Since the axles are 1/2 of the distance of any given tire size, The term "pit" would have to relate to the tire gully depth at the bottom of any "PIT". Respectively the taller tires will dig deeper tire gullies and have the advantage. HP=0 if no tracton is available. I have seen 4cyl. 4x4's with tall tires go through holes that 350 chevy 4x4s with 33"-34" tire fail to get through because the axle hi-centered in the center mud. Its not rocket science, just common sense!
