Hey everyone! Leaving out those with Rubicons because they get the extra benefit of KO2s stock. How does your Sahara handle the snow? I was a little worried about snow handling with the 20s and the Alenzas. They lack the three peak symbol and I was thinking I'd switch them out if they sucked in the snow. However, Ive been very surprised that this Jeep has been my best snow vehicle so far. For context I owned a JK with Nitto Terra Grapplers and a JKU with Duratracs and the stock willys LSD. My JK was lifted and fun to play in the snow but wasnt great traveling in storms. It loved to fish tail even in 4wd. The JKU with its duractracs and lsd combo was solid in rain but still would fish tail and spin tires in 2wd on hard turns once the road was covered. Now this Sahara 4xe doesn't fishtail. I had it out the other night in 3 to 4 inches just trying to learn how it behaves in snow. I did a couple laps around the neighborhood and some local roads with big hills, in 2wd, 4auto and 4H. Could barely tell the difference. In the same spots the would cause some slippage in the JKU in 2wd I had no issue in 2wd with the 4xe. Finally I turned off traction control and got it to slide (road was empty btw, great for testing I would never do this near parked cars or others on the road). Honestly I expected this 4xe to be slightly behind my JKU in snow handling. I thought the battery weight and placement would help but the tires would be an issue. What is everyone else seeing?
