back in the day the jeeps were the little hockey pucks that were careening all over. That is the big problem with those, when your wheelbase and width are so similar, once you break traction there is no incentive for going straight. Sideways and backwards are just the same, stability and drag-wise.
Long wheelbase trucks with the factory skinny tires were the best. The F250 with those factory split rims and narrow tires were getting around, and everybody with custom wheels and fat tires were a danger. Those skinny tires would get an edge on ice or snow just fine if you drove right.
