Don't blame you. If I had mine it would be the same story. I guess it was anyway. We just looked out the window of our condo and saw all the people getting stuck. Thank goodness we had nowhere we had to go. Looks like my colour - Amazon Grey?Not my baby is sitting this one out. 16-18 inches yesterday! View attachment 535

Good to hear. Thanks.25 cm of snow in Kingston. My PHEV worked like a charm. Switched to Snow mode, even. I do have winter tires on it.
Here in Edmonton we have had a few massive storms and some of the most snow I have seen in quite a few years this year. Plenty of ice, sub -30°C weather, and today freezing rain and 90km/h winds. The Tucson has been great on 17" Hakkapaelitta R3s. The Stability Control has not been as aggressive as my Kona is, so it makes controlled drifting much easier, but the Traction Control is pretty odd. It will kick in and stay on to the point that my revs stay low, and lug the transmission in a way. Just gotta be extremely light on the throttle on ice.With the big storm through the U. S. as well as southern Ontario has anyone traveled through it with your new Tucson? With or without snow tires? We got about 12 to 15 inches here in Hamilton.

Thank you. Being in a condo I don't have space for a second set of wheels or even just tires, and have not used or needed snows in years. Being retired I can just stay home until the roads are clear, unless I was already out when a storm comes in.I've been driving this winter on just the stock Roadian GTX All-seasons and I have to say it's been pretty good in all the snow conditions so far. The AWD helps a lot.
It really depends on the routes that you have to drive daily. But I don't think you have to put winter tires on at all in the first year. Based on my experiences driving multiple snow storms in Edmonton, Alberta.
I would recommend driving in the first winter storm to see how it handles for you and then decide if you want the extra security with winter tires.
I've have no issues other than the poorly designed hood. It comes up too far into the windshield making it impossible to lift the wipers up. Usually if it is snowing over night, I lift my wipers up so the snow is easier to get off in the morning. Mayne I will film a short video of what i mean. But every other car i've had, i was able to lift my wipers up.since the subject is " Ice and Snow" how is your wipers doing, here in Montreal we had -35 and snow my wipers kept on building ice and making driving a hell. I was wondering if anyone can recommends a good pair of wipers.

Interesting. I have tried that before but the wipers always go down before the power is cut off. Will give it another shot. Thanks.This is how I put it up to tap the Ice
Next time will do that, now I'm after finding better wipers hopping will find one.Interesting. I have tried that before but the wipers always go down before the power is cut off. Will give it another shot. Thanks.
Also want to add that after I park my car for the night, I usually clean the wipers with paper towel so it doesn't freeze over night.
My experience is opposite yours. I was on Lost Trail and Lolo passes a few months ago and very unhappy with the traction and control of the OEM Nexens in snow and ice. I was doing much worse with the Nexen-shod AWD Tucson than I did with my FWD Acura RSX and Toyo Celsius all-weather tires. Much worse. At one point I experimented with turning off traction control and ESC in the Tucson and quickly ended up sideways and drifting across the road to a guardrail on the other side. Fortunately I didn't hit anything. I would not recommend the Nexens to anybody for ice and snow duty. I don't think they are appropriate tires for North Americans.I've been driving this winter on just the stock Roadian GTX All-seasons and I have to say it's been pretty good in all the snow conditions so far.
