- 2024 Subaru Outback Limited XT wearing factory Avid GT Tires take on wintery conditions that have been called a “blizzard warning”. I think it did pretty well. But comment your thoughts below!

With traction control on I would cruise at 40 mph in the snow on the expressways of NY with the proper snow and all weather tires.
For 17 years I have driven as a professional commercial driver.
Symmetrical All Wheel Drive will not let you go but so far if you come off the gas!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have to laugh!!!
I remember when they shut down the Long Island Expressway in 2013 because of a snow storm!
I drove from Staten Island New York to The Hamptons in Long Island a distance of some 95 miles. I wasn't even supposed to be on the highway and I every car I came past was stuck. When the Suffolk County Sheriff finally stopped me when I was getting off at my exit he stated to me that I wasn't supposed to be on the highway. But I told him the distance that I had driven from the city of New York all the way out to the east end of Long Island. The look on his partners face was priceless!!! He looked at me with amazement as if i were a Superhero!!!!
Needless to say, it only 13 miles to go to my house, so they let me go home!!!
I don't think I would have ever made it home if I wasn't in the Subaru!!!!
I thank God for that!¡!
Thanks for sharing this! Subarus with good tires in the winter are literally amazing lol. It’s like a cheat code in a video game. 🤣
Love my Outback Limited 2.5 with snow tires.... It's not completely slide-proof... But close.
Yeah, that’s the truth! Lol.
Great review! I've never seen one in winter snow.
I’m glad you enjoyed this. It was fun to experience! Thanks for watching. 🙂
Winter tires and drive with much more confidence
Absolutely!
I’m in northern Illinois. My winter driving since March 2017 has been in a rear wheel drive Chevy SS. Needless to say I have a dedicated set of winter tires on from late November to mid March. I’ve had no issues even on unplowed rural roads. Since our twin daughters will start driving this summer I’ve been shopping for something we can all drive. I’ve got it down to either an Outback Touring XT or a Forester Touring. The only question now is turbo or NA.
Forester wilderness.
I think for a family the Outback might be better as it has a little more room than the Forester....but I've never owned a Subaru so I can't give much advice on that aspect....the thing with me is I'd rather not have the turbo nonsense as I can't afford to buy a new car every few years to keep up with a warranty due to mechanical breakdowns that'll occur with all that nonsense turbo crap.....so I'd have to stick with a Forester, but for me it wouldn't be an issue as I don't have to haul anyone around....I just can't afford car payments so I drive old stuff.
I love that you drive a last year Chevy SS year round! I test drove a 2014 a few years ago, and I’ve always thought owing one and putting Holden badges on it would be cool! 😅
Avid GTs on my 2024 Outback have horrible traction in only a few inches of snow and also poor traction on just wet surfaces. Had to replace them at 5000 miles just to get through the winter.
Great insight, I appreciate you sharing! I am curious though what temperatures you’ve seen during this first 5k miles? Cold enough to keep snow, but blisteringly cold or just a bit below 32?
I live in Ontario its 55f out today no snow.... where u driving today buddy?
Lol, this was back in January… 😬 I did a bunch of these videos over the course of the few days there was a blizzard warning. I just didn’t want to dump only those videos for weeks so I’ve spread them out. 🤷♂️😅
The Matrix was shared platform with Pontiac Vibe.
Those were definitely a couple interesting vehicles! 😅
Great review, if I can give my penny into this vlog, I use Scandinavian tires from Finnland, brand Nokian WR G4-SUV, they are real all season tires, several yrs in raw winners, build from special couchuk, which are oposite reaction to temp. Then another brand, they soft in low temp and hard in high, they are asymetrical to keep us more easy on the road in heavy rain, they got ice provider, not sticky to snow, strong even for high speed/sticker says safe to 205 KM/hr/ you can get them in walmart/ online/ I had the set in my subbys abt 4 time n in RX350, my wife run on 3rd set, God bless all of you, drive safe like me, I just did on my new”24 winderness first 1700 miles/ its my subby no 4 in total over 470k miles combine
Thank you for watching and for sharing such awesome information and pulling from your personal experiences! 🙂
The snow is not the problem. The problem is the temperature. Under -10C (14F), the compound of the all season tire gets stiff, like plastic, no matter the tread pattern. And it does not react properly on cold surface like ice, pack snow, etc. If you live in a place that have a faily amount of snow but not that cold, all season tires will do it. But If it's cold.... stick to dedicated winter tires.
Great insight! Thanks for sharing this and for watching. 🙂
Get all weather tires, it's great in the snow compared to an all season tire.
