@ Chesters- Yes, the Tahoe is 2WD.
I've driven RWD vehicles in Denver without too many issues for years. My current daily driver is a 95 BMW 325is. Now I did end up getting a second set of wheels with studded snows because that car has an open diff and wouldn't go anywhere in the snow/ice. Same thing with my previous daily driver and my son's current ride (93 Lincoln Town Car). It's an open diff but get's around just fine with studded snows and drove it a while with just all-seasons.
I figured that the Stabilitrak and limited slip / locker differential on the Tahoe would eliminate the need for studded snows. Not really too interested in buying a second set of wheels/tires for her.
I also played around with the Tahoe in the snow at low speeds and found the Stabilitrak confusing. When starting to slide if I let it on the gas it actually seemed to compound the slide in the wrong direction. Though I did read in the manual that the slide control piece of Stabilitrak only works when under acceleration. So are you supposed to keep the accelerator down as you begin to slide to use it properly?
Finally, does anyone have a good recommendation for an AT tire that does well in the snow? Some of the Discoverer AT3 reviews I've read seem to indicate that snow isn't one of the areas that is excels in.
