[QUOTE="Mike S 3, post: 1000854, member: 66482"] Im sure you know this, but ControlTrac uses each brake to kind of act like limited slip or locking diff's, when the ABS sensors detect spinning. But if all 4 tires don't have good traction it won't make much of a difference. Tires make a huge difference. I had the OEM pirelli's 255/50/20 on last winter and was very disappointed in my truck's performance, but that wasn't suprising because they were nearly bald when I bought the truck. But for this winter I have a set of Firestone Winterforce tires, and am amazed at the difference it made. the braking and traction is night and day. Last week I even helped pulling a car out of a ditch, with all 4 tires on snow. And my 'AWD' adrenalin is just the same as your auto 4wd in High range btw. Check out some snow tires, or some tire shops can Sipe your current tires if there is good tread still, that is the biggest difference that i can see with my winter tires, lots of sipes... [/QUOTE]
