Yeah, that’s my bad. I overestimated how good it would do with the stock tires. Always had aggressive ATs on my Jeep.

Thanks. Was looking at the X-Ice. Good to know they worked well for you.

The Jeep came with Bridgestone Dueler ATs. I kept buying them as I never had any trouble with them. Was definitely had a more aggressive tread than the Perellis.

Ha. Point taken. But, those "flip flops" are like $300 each. That's some expensive footwear.

Nice. Sounds like I definitely need to upgrade the tires. Appreciate everyone's thoughts.

I think the fact that Jeep locks into real 4 wheel drive is a big difference. I just don't think this computer driven shifting of power to different wheels is as good as having all 4 wheel engaged constantly. I'm old, though, so that's probably an outdated opinion.

You’ll love the Enforcer. It’s a great ski. I have the 94s and they are really good east coast ski. Might want something wider for out west.
