    So had my 16' Latitude w/ 6 Spd manual for about 3 weeks. Love it so far except for one thing...... We got our 1st significant snow last night only 8" but didn't fret because the Renegade will handle it easy. Boy was I wrong. The all season tires they come equipped with are absolutely horrific in snow. I was sliding around like I had ice skates on. Turning a corner forget about it....slide. Going straight & hit some deeper snow...slide. Going 10 MPH or 25, didn't matter. Starting from a stop light, wheel spin. Didn't matter what 4 wheel drive setting it was in the tires crippled this thing in snow. Plus one of the tires is out of round & feels like I'm driving on ovals. Saving up to get new shoes ASAP!!!

    The all season 17s my North came with were terrible as well. Had to buy new all weather tires

    Seems pretty typical of OEM tires in general. It's pretty disgraceful.

    Yes agree all season continentals are the worst in any significant snow. Had a major sotmr here the last week. Over 15 " accumulation. Wife got stuck several times. I ve had better luck but the continentals are the WORST. Looking at picking up a set of General Grabber AT2

    I had general grabbers on my 08 canyon. Came stock. Very good tire! Bought a new set before I gave my truck to my mom

    I installed bridgestone blizzaks 235/50r18 on our Rene and so far they have done good.

    Got rid of the Conticraps for a set of G015's had them for a week & juat switched to Big O A/T's. The G015's tracked really bad on grooved concrete HWY. We'll see how the new ones fare. My neighbor hooked me up $521 installed OTD.
