I am not sure how else to say this. I know tires make a difference, I feel dumber having to say that. I find it interesting that most of you think people who ask questions must be stupid or have never worked on a car. Before I put that company $$ into the car I wanted to make sure this explorer was worth it. This is my first Ford and quite frankly my opinion of UAW/Big 3 vehicles is quite poor, but we are giving this a shot. There are some cars where snow tires will not make that vehicle good in the snow for lots of reasons.
Moderator please lock his thread, I think we have accomplished all we needed to do.....
I got what you were saying, I admit I was apprehensive about my explorer in the snow. I have only had my Explorer for a few months and overall I am pleased with it. I feel the cornering in snow could be better. This vehicle is heavy and certainly something I have had to get used to here in Ohio with our recent snow fall. I previously had a Jeep Cherokee and I felt pretty confident driving that in snow and it cornered far worse in the snow than my Explorer. My opinion would be throw some money into the tires and have a good ride!
