I had a 13 and now a 16 both suck in the snow.
I imagine with good snows like Firestone winter force tires it turns into another animal.
Does the tc perform much better with snow tires? Maybe I will stud them��

 

I live in the desert, can't help with this question.

 

I have a 2014 LWB Titanium and I live in Montana. I put Michelin X-Ice (studless) tires all the way around in winter and it does just fine. Bridgestone Blizzaks would also be great. I often drive on snow and ice up hills to the mountains to go skiing with no problems. The front wheel drive, auto traction control, and anti-lock braking really help. The biggest issue is ground clearance in a deep snow but it seems to plow through pretty well most of the time if you keep the speed up.

 

I run Firestone Winterforce stud less (can be studded) tires on my wife's 2010 TC and it goes through the snow here in Michigan, just fine and we live 2 miles off the pavement so the snow can be pretty deep at times.

I actually run them year around and I run them on my F350 Ford Diesel too. Little noisy but traction is excellent in mud, snow and in the rain.

The seem to wear just as good as normal all season tires too.

I like them just fine.

The only issue is they are directional so I keep the spare as an all season so it can be mounted in any wheel position.

 

what is "terrible"?
Its going to be different for everyone, some will say fine some say they are garbage, but what is the most common thing when it comes to tractions is the tires. I only had the stock tires on my 2018 F450 in the snow a few times but never had a problem.
I am currently running Toyo M608z in the 245 size.
they LOOK like they will do fine in snow, but not sure on ice.
I dont know your situation but for the cost of a set of tires and wheels for the F450 you can buy a smaller AWD or 4WD vehicle to use in the worse conditions.
I dont like having my truck in the snow, too many that are clueless on how to drive, dont want anyone to run into my truck.
I have a 2008 Hummer H3 with studded snow tires and locking rear axle that I use if it gets bad, just makes more since to me to put a $10,000 rig in the snow that a $80,000 rig

 

Wrong thread!

 

I fixed it. There is a similar thread in the SD forum. It's hard to tell where you are at in a heavy snowfall.

 

I just don't get it.

A transit Connect is like a 7 passenger Ford Focus. Front wheel drive, with tires meant to give you good highway mileage. Who really thinks it is a Jeep? Like any other front wheel drive with a 4 cylinder engine, Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla, you put chains on it, drive it at 20 mph, and only on plowed city streets.

 

jeeps are over rated in the snow! this is my 4th van and 2nd connect and the connect is horrible even for a van, but its the stock tires i had a set of altima's installed and its much better. your comment is stupid really.

 

I have studded tires on my 2014 Focus. They help, on icy or hard packed snow, but are noisy on bare roads. For ordinary snow, snow tires without studs are just as good. I haven't installed snow tires on my 2020 XLT. The tread is fairly aggressive but tires are harder than winter-rated. In Quebec winter-rated tires are mandatory. In southern ON studded tires are not allowed. When I need to replace my truck tires I may go to winter-rated year round.

 

What trim level has this feature?
