How many of you drive this through the snow? What’s your setup for wheels and tires? All seasons? Dedicated set? Thanks, leaving an eternity of jeeps and getting something fun!

A lot depends on where you are and how much snow you get. I’m in Midwest with some snow but rarely more than a few inches. I run Pilot Sport AllSeason. Never really had an issue other than ice. When living in Vermont and New Hampshire I had a separate set of wheels and Blizzaks for winter time with a set of tire chains in back even if I was driving a 3500hd 4x4.

Dedicated 18" rims with Michelin X-ice2. We've had a lot of snow this year and they have really performed.

CT area. Occasionally travel up to VT,NY..etc.
I have a set of 275/60/18 Blizzaks that I was thinking of keeping and finding rims for… getting tired of rim swaps and curious what others are using.

Never. Pulled many out of ditches as well.

Actually traded in a 5 year old 2500hd Denali diesel with 130k miles almost straight up for my ST. Back when you couldn’t get new diesel towing trucks and the used market was crazy. Probably the only time I ever market timed
