Horrible tires for the snow... continental contact but slowly but surely

I agree on the continentals, just put on a full set of blizzaks, huge improvement. No more white knuckled driving in the snow.

Ha! All else constant, I'd take out the '02. Wouldn't you hate it if some moron slid into your brand new Denali and you had nothing to do with it.

Just happened to me.............CRAP.. fortunately only the front fog light bezel just got broken. but still even if itonly cost 100$$ for the new part it is still a bummer to have a dent on a 100,000+ vehicle with only 4000KM on it

Yep. Sorry that happened.

I find the Conti CrossContact tires to be decent in the snow. I had them on my old Explorer also before I got this Tahoe. They aren't Blizzaks, for sure, and they aren't even AT tires. On the other hand, I had some Goodyear Eagle LS runflat tires on my 5 series. That car went sideways on ice if I even thought about braking on ice. Contis are much better.

Does anyone have any actual real snow driving experience that can compare the 07-14's with the new body styles?

All I know is my old 2000 Escalade was light years better in the deep snow then both my previous 07 Denali and current 10 Escalade combined and yes, I had/have good tires. Huge difference with the AWD system. Currently looking for a 15 or 16 and am curious how they are.

I just had the Conti Terrain Contacts installed but havent had a chance to try them out in deep snow.
