Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Telluride handling in the snow

I had an experience on I-15 this spring in my SX-P. Headed into a snowstorm. Other than the blinding, blowing snow, it handled it flawlessly. Because it was dry snow, speeds were good with no slippage at all. About 1" on the road. I was able to pass (when visibility increased) any traffic on the road. Wet sierra snow will be different. I can't speak for East Coast snow.

I’ve driven through a blizzard already with my SXP AWD. About 1” of unplowed wet snow on local roads for 10 miles. No issues to report. Never felt like I lost traction going 20-30mph.

Driving in the snow will only be as good as your tires. Nokian makes the Hakkapeliitta R3 snow tires in the Telly sizes. You can put a set of those on anything and be unstoppable. In my Jeep GC I can hardly break traction in the snow even with the TC turned off. You can get them through your local Nokian dealer or on Discount Tire Direct. Blizzaks are good too but only half the tread depth is the good snow compound and they wear a lot faster.
