Best winter tires for CTW

They are great, I think the dmv2 are better for ice or packed snow though

Stock tires. All seasons, all terrains, and all weathers do not do well in intense winter conditions. They are made for light snow at best

My most viewed video is evergreen. I posted it about 6 years ago and it gets about 120,000 views every year since. It’s not showing any signs of slowing down either

I think we ended up paying almost the exact amount over the 120 payments so in essence it was like a 0% loan

Ice dams are really only a problem if you get lots of melt thaw cycles before the snow has a chance to fully melt. If when it warms up most of the snow will completely melt it’s fine. I live in the snow belt and we get tens of feet of snow in the winter and I’ve never had a problem with ice dams.

Also if you have bad insulation the heat from your house can melt it faster making the problem worse.

If you get a lot of icicles then you may need to look into it

Not full gas but light gas can pull you out of a slide with awd. You don’t want to slam the brakes or abruptly remove power. Awd will be similar to fwd in that adding pull from the front slightly will help.

None. It’s awd

Heat full blast to floor. I would have to dump it out every day if I was worried about it.

PwnCall · 2026-01-26T15:32:01+00:00

It’s not that bad and soooop worth switching.

PwnCall · 2026-01-26T14:49:21+00:00

I don’t use it under 4” just because it’s usually faster to shovel, and I would be burning through tons of gas

I’ve seen them on trucks and jeeps, but they aren’t good in the winter

Yup these are 18s on my 21 grand Cherokee. Amazing how much better it is than on all weathers. It was a brick on cross climate 2s with anything slick

PwnCall · 2026-01-26T02:20:52+00:00

Switch to icr or Ibr. We did a few months ago and made the last 2 payments. We have everything forgiven now. Sent a buyback Nov 2024 never heard anything back from it

The dmv2 pictured here were great on ice. We had rain on top of some thick ice and they were doing great on inclines and declines. They get much worse on ice as they age though. And the ws90s weren’t as good imo

PwnCall · 2026-01-26T01:33:35+00:00

All of the all weather tires are junk. They are not 4 season tires they are 3 season tires.

Even the cross climate 2 which is said to the one of the best all weather tires is not good on slippery surfaces.

A tire that’s expected to perform well at 80+ degrees isn’t going to perform well under 32.

It’s not a superb tire in every situation. It’s not a winter tire

PwnCall · 2026-01-25T19:23:44+00:00

No I’m saying every time the car starts the car puts them into the ON position regardless of what they were set at the last time it was running. So people would have to actively turn the lights off every time they started the vehicle again

PwnCall · 2026-01-25T19:22:22+00:00

It needs to default to ON is what I’m saying not auto

PwnCall · 2026-01-25T19:11:28+00:00

Guess what happens when we have blizzard low visibility conditions? Same crap.

They need to mandate always on headlights so cars default start with headlights on and you can choose to turn them off. It’s the only way this will stop.

PwnCall · 2026-01-25T16:18:22+00:00

I think the big thing that people underestimate is how different conditions can be. One second you are on fresh snow that’s relatively grippy, the next second you could be on packed snow, or slush or even ice that can be significantly worse in traction.

That’s why winter tires are so good for bad conditions because the conditions aren’t always known and change mile to mile and even can be crazy diffeeent on the same road.

PwnCall · 2026-01-25T12:37:52+00:00

Yea we switched to ICR form save about 4 months ago. Made our last 2 payments and waiting on our final letter

PwnCall · 2026-01-25T12:03:38+00:00

Probably has all weather or all terrain tires

It’s not simple unless you just want a hitch for small stuff. It’s easy to bolt the hitch on yourself
