Today was much better and I actually had a blast driving in it.

The weather the past two days was really bad... took me 2 hours to get to work this morning... and I loved being in my new Jeep the entire time. Crazy ass hot heater... so hot I had the windows down... no jacket...
Are you running Rubi tires? Some users don't like them for snow/ice-or is it a matter of driver skill?

yeah, stock Rubi tires. I have a brand new set of 295 70 17 Nitto Trailer Grapplers that I plan on changing to once I pick out the new rims I want.
