Got a good covering of snow in Waterloo, I'd say 20cm on my street. I live on a hill (about 4% grade). I had to take 5 or 6 runs to get up it yesterday. The back wheels keeps slipping and the car kept trying to spin towards the curb.
Other years I've gotten stuck and had to park at the neighbour's house at the bottom.
I found that the tires would detect slipping and stop right away. I had to turn on slip start in order to even make the car move.
Didn't have an issue getting up the hill with an AWD CX5.
I have the Tesla winter tire package. Does anybody else have issues with these tires? Anything recommendations for something that works better on snow?
If you mean the Pirelli Sottozero Serie II - which I think is the standard Tesla winter package - some reviews I saw did not rate it that well for any sort of deep snow. That said, it should not be quite so bad. Your experience does not seem to correspond with others I have read about. I wonder if something is off with your car.
I went for the Yokohama v905 tire on our new Model 3. Today was also our first snow day. No problems - mind you we did not have to go far.
