Another new Telly owner from MN

[road_rascal]

Hey all- new owner here from the east metro in MN. Took delivery of a Wolf Gray EX X-line last week with the tow package. Wife and I needed a vehicle with a 3rd row for the grandkids when they come over and she liked the Telluride out of everything we test drove. So this means I'm getting her 2018 Chevy Equinox and I sold my 2012 Rav4 V6 to a coworker (I'm going to miss that Toyota). Anyways now the fun part begins getting all the needed goodies for the new Kia. Bought all weather mats, I installed front and rear dashcams and I'm having dedicated winter tires/ wheels installed this week. Looking forward to all the tips and tricks everyone has for the Telluride.

Hello from a Minnesota Telluride driver for over 5 years and 135,000 miles! It's a great vehicle. In case it helps, years ago I was a die-hard believer in dedicated snow tires. But with the Telluride I opted to go for the all-weather (not simply all-season) Michelin Cross Climate 2's. They've been SO good in the winter, and my last set lasted me over 85,000 miles. I won't claim that they're as good as dedicated winter tires in all conditions, but I'd say they're 90%. I've had them on the North Shore in some frigid January conditions, up in Ely in tons of snow, and through the metro winter rush hours.

Anyway, enjoy the new vehicle. I bought mine for a very similar reason - hauling around three grandkids. It's been a workhorse.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. I'm glad you found us. Which other vehicles did your wife test drive? It's nice to hear the Telluride won the comparison test...
