Wrong. I have had plenty of experience in the snow with great results. And I didn't have an option for snow mode - never got the OTA notice until that very morning.
Thanks for the detail and ideas. I grew up in Utah driving on pretty much everything (crappy subaru hatchback to trucks), oftentimes with no snow tires. I have had 5 Jeeps and have driven those with snow tires and without and never had a situation like I did as described. On my R1T, I have...
It actually hadn't shown up as an update literally until that morning while driving. I had tried to find a way to push, but the truck had no indication that there was an update available. I don't know why it took time for it to see the new OTA option.
such wise counsel. thanks for stating the obvious. I share the experience on this forum b/c it would seem like a place to share both good and bad. No value add in your reply. There were others that explained the unique scenarios - snow tires or not - that were very helpful. To be clear...
R1T on 22" all-season tires: I live in the Utah mountains and we have 3+ feet of snow on the ground, so I have driven up and down the mountain passes to the ski resort 12 mins away many times, with little issue. However, today we headed up to Snowbird as the snow was falling hard. It had...
I am in Huntsville near Snowbasin. Hit the road on my 22s today in the 5-6" that came down. Overall I was impressed with how it fared, especially on acceleration. However, you can tell they are not snow tires. A few turns left me sliding a bit purely based on lack of traction on the tires...
Can't run it right now with snow, but in the spring, head to Twin Lakes trailhead near Baker. You can make it in a car if you want to beat it up, so it isn't too tough, but it will "stretch your legs" on a semi-challenging road with a huge payoff. Make the hike to the fire lookout... worth it.
