I got stuck a second time in snow last night. In my driveway on flat ground, my '10 Limited 4X4 V-8 would not move. These OEM Michelin Cross-Terrains SUCK in snow. Mine have at least 3/4 of their tread remaining after just 19,000 miles, but I couldn't get traction to move.
Adding to the misery of the tires, the damn traction control won't really let a tire spin enough to dig down to the pavement. With TC "on" in 4Hi, I can litterally hold the accelerator to the floor and the engine RPM doesn't get over 1500, and the wheels take turns spinning just a bit.
Disabling the traction control didn't do much to help. Even 4LOW was no good to get me out.
To make matters worse, Wife's Honda Pilot with 70,000 miles on the OEM Michelin XLTs (well worn) crawled in and out of the driveway several times with ease, but the Trac won't do it.
Is there something wrong with my truck? I have no error lights, and I can tell that the front axle is spinning in 4WD, but it sure won't go.
I need two sets of new tires for my vehicles, and I am broke. :cry:
