22" Tires in snow

[Reels]

Is there any performance loss in the snow belt with 22"s verses 20"s?

Would not personally run 22s in the snow. Not enough sidewall.

I ran 22" nitto Terra grapplers on my lowered Yukon Denali in snow in Denver. Just buy the right tire for the conditions you will encounter.

I said what I said not because of traction issues. I said it because of the times the snow is fresh and you can't see the curbs...... or you slide into them.

Cooper zeon ltz tires have a good rim guard and really good in the snow. I run them on 22s in the winter and if anything they performed better than the stock 17s. Just my experience though.

Road trip.... Colorado

Hey there....

I am taking the family on their first real road trip this Christmas (technically New years) to WinterPark Colorado.

I grew up driving a Station wagon from So Cal to Alta Utah and Sun Valley.. not 4wd and maybe needed chains once.

My Yukon has 22in wheels, am I at risk of being stranded should they require chains at some point?

Anyone has real world experience with this truck with these wheels (stock AT tires) in the snow?

Is it a 4x4 Yukon?

After driving mine on snow and ice, I can assure you it will be fine. I tried driving it like I stole it and it just isn't fun with all the computer shit correcting me. Pretty hard to screw up.

Just don't drive it downhill in tow/haul mode....... in icy conditions. The active grade braking seems like it will absolutely cause a spinout. I was testing it yesterday in rainy conditions and the downshift was so bad it chirped! not a gradual shift at all.

To be clear I was asking because i haven't driven to colorado in 20 yrs. I drive <to> Tahoe (******* pines actually) all season every season and I am perfectly comfortable driving my 4x4 yukon in snow.... I just didn't know if our ever so soft every one gets a trophy politically incorrect "society" would allow for passage without chains.

I drove 2wd station wagon to our place at Alta, UT and other seasons Sun Valley in blizzard/white out conditions like a man (albeit slow like an old man at points but a man nonetheless!)
