Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT experience in snow

[Andrew.802]

I just bought a 2025 Hybrid with AWD yesterday. They came with these tires. I live in Vermont and I have a pretty steep driveway. Does anyone have any experience driving these in New England snow? I'm contemplating putting Michelin CC2's on it for an all season I never have to change. I would like to hold off if I can, but it's hard to find reviews on the Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT in snow.

They're not snow rated, get a new set of winter tires

I had the dealer put CC2’s on my new Mav prior to pick up. I had experience with them on my previous Edge that I traded in, and are excellent in snow, slush, rain and dry weather. You feel them somewhat when driving, however they are not noisy and provide for very decent handling. The Dealer put the Continental stock tires in the bed and I sold them 2 days later. FYI

They’re a lot of fun hooning around in the snow but they provide very little traction.

Oh ya! My wife has them and they are awesome.

Are you new to living in Vermont or does your lifestyle permit not having to drive until the roads are cleared?
I don't mean to preach, but the reason I ask is winter driving in Vermont is best done with four dedicated snow tires, for your safety as well as others. Not just to go forward but to stop and corner. Plus it would be a shame to wreck your new truck.

My lifestyle does not allow me to wait until the roads are clear. I am driving in snow regularly. I think I am leaning towards the Michelin CC2. While they are an all season, they are also 3PMSF rated.

But good in snow also listed as a pro and in the final verdict. That review stinks.

OK. I understand not wanting to do the twice a year tire change over.

The CC2 will probably suffice the first winter. After a year of tread wear, probably not as good, and so on. Just something to consider.

I wish you luck and think snow!

The Michelin Cross Climate 2 is available in your spec...it's a solid choice if you do not want to do the dedicated snows on separate rims route...

Another good choice is the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady2. It's also a few bucks cheaper than the Michelins.

I've got Yokohama Geolander AT/15's on both of the Maverick's in our driveway, a 25' XL AWD & my wife's 22' XLT AWD and they are excellent in both snow and icy conditions. They are also surprisingly quiet and have excellent tread life. I live in Maine and travel to VT quite often for work, I highly recommended these tires

I ran them 3 seasons on my Edge before trading in the car. They drove and felt like new, minimal tread wear, even when summers got very hot. Last year here in Bradford, I hadn’t seen so much snow in many years and the tires were excellent. The Edge was also AWD. FYI

I just bought Michelin CrossClimate 2's for my 25 Lariat, and I live in Vancouver BC which doesn't get anywhere near the snow you get in Vermont. I'm originally from Montreal so I recommend you buy the CC2's.

I'm running these too, but went up a size to 235s. The AT15s are stable on snowy roads, and seem to live up to their 3PMS rating.
