Any Nebraska folks in here that used their OEM tires in through one of the winters? How did they perform? Mostly curious about FWD models

Howdy and welcome to the forum.
Search OEM tires and you will get lots of threads on those babies (hot topic). Including some of my own comments......They are known to be inferior, but I just saw a post where someone got 95K out of a set. So there are tons of folks that like them and others (like me) that replace them immediately.
Try this to start....

What tires do you have?
In 2022 the Lariat got Michelins; my XL Hybrid got Continentals:
Continental ProContact TX - [Standard on XL & XLT]
Michelin Primacy All Season A/S - [Standard on Lariat]
Is that still true for 2024?
Both tires get only "Fair" ratings for Snow in TireRack customer reviews, which matched my brief test in a couple of inches of snow.
That was New Hampshire snow, however, and you asked specifically about Nebraska snow, which may be different.
I put my Continentals away in winter and run Blizzaks.

The Primacy A/S used on the Lariat models actually gets a 7.6/Good rating on TireRack. At least it's a shade of green, the lightest green in their chart. Probably fine for light or occasional snow. Not great, but not bad for an all-season tire.....wish they'd start installing All-Weather tires, but they come with a higher cost.
If you get heavy snow, an All-Weather or dedicated Winter tire might be a better option, or installing snow-socks or some other traction aid device. We don't typically get much snow hear in southern NJ, so I'll probably just run the Michelins, had them on another FWD vehicle years ago and they did surprisingly well in ~4-6 inches of wet snow, and that vehicle didn't have a selectable slippery mode, or any sort of stability control. (Might have had traction control, and that was it).

You've got a Lariat and I don't. Are you sure your Michelins are marked "Primacy A/S TOUR" or are they "Primacy A/S"?
Does the obligatory T rating designate them as the Touring model, as is usually the case? - I'll check in the morning, but thought they were Touring.
