2022 snow/ice build up

[ChrisG]

We live in Michigans upper peninsula, about 225 miles north of Green Bay WI. Typically we get 200-300” of snow per year. One thing I’ve noticed on our RST with 22” wheels is the snow build up in the wheel wells is constant, tires start to rub and it needs cleaning out. Most nights it falls off in the garage but it stil needs regular cleaning. Just a few pics to show this, and I’ll add winter tires next season. I love the Tahoe just an fyi.

Why would a post need approval that’s weird

Wow that’s a lot of build up. We’re down in the thumb and do not get build up like that. We also have had a very mild winter so far tho. Spray some pam lol

Ran into the same issue with our last snow storm in upstate NY. Wheel wells and on the tubular side steps of my Z71. The area at the base of the windshield wipers is an ice magnet as well.

It’s probably the tires, my Silverado has the 22’s with Alenza’s and build up sucks on them

Actually, I think it is the felt type liners of the wheel wells. They are used to keep road noise down, but ice and snow adhere to them vs a hard plastic liner that with one good bump would fracture it out...

As @Banks22 suggested, clean the fender liners real well, and then spray them heavily with Pam or Weber Grille Spray.

I use Pam on my snow blower chute. Keeps the snow from building up/sticking like that.

Is there a particular flavor you guys prefer? I’m partial to butter or olive oil. Not a fan of coconut oil flavored snow.
