For those of you that are able to play in the slushy and snowy roads how is the RT doing? I've heard the OE tires suck for those that have the Goodyear ones. I know the Goodyears that were on my Liberty were horrible.
How's the RT in the snow???

The Wrangler HP's are more than fine for daily driving and actually seem to be fairly good on ice which impressed me because they are a fairly hard compound.
The traction control is the cat's ass and works very well on the RT. In fact it works better than it did on the 3.7, 6 speed I previously owned. I think the extra torque helps.

Had my out in the snow this week and with the 4 wheel drive engaged it was great. No slippage at all...now when you disengage the 4 wheel system that's another story but very impressed with the RT as a whole.

Gah, I feel ripped off! My R/T came with Goodyear Eagle RS-A, not Wrangler HP. I had Wrangler HP stock on my Cherokee Classic, and they were good for a stock all season tire. The Goodyear Eagle RS-A are good summer tires, but not that great in the snow. The 4WD makes up for it though, we had between 12" and 24" on Sunday night and Monday, and the traction control didn't kick in at all. Even at 55mph in 8" of unplowed snow it felt safe enough.
