Yeah, I agree, those duelers are not that good in snow. But we have about 15 inches here right now and coming. I took a ride through the neighbourhood and I have to say my truck is pretty good. As far as stopping, you have to be very carefull. When we get storms as big as this one here, I see crazy moms overturn and skid off the road in their "SUV's" all the tme. Just called the Autozone, cables are $100 bucks, is it worth it?
