Icelandics put very wide tires and deflate them a lot to float over the snow. Also they don't use to put agressive tires like M/T's, the most they use, the Dick Cepek's.

Chains are fine as long as you keep the speed down to 25 or so.

Those are fine for occasional use. What you really want is something like these. https://konigchain.com/chains/profes...-polar-hd.html
they are real winter chains made specifically for off roaring and work VERY well. We just had 3.5 feet of snow in 22 hours this past season. I was able
to get out with my FJ60 on 35s with these chains. Zero issues.
