2026 Passport TSE - Stock Tires (General Grabber) in Winter Conditions

[running_rabbit]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone of you can share their experiences with the stock tires (General Grabber AT Sport) in winter conditions. I am in the greater Detroit area...so usually we do not have tons of snow...but it is cold.

Unfortunately the stock tires do not have the "3 Peaks" symbol but "M+S" only...but I am not sure if this is reason enough to buy new tires (with just 1,200 miles driven so far).

Any ideas / recommendations / experiences?
Thanks, Stefan

I don’t know. Some forums say the grabbers aren’t very good in the snow and I’ve seen a couple post say they are pretty good. I’m going to leave mine on this winter. The cost of new tires and wheels will probably be around $1500. Then I have to store the wheels that I’m not using.

First snow with the trailsport here in MN. Only about 1inch but icy too. Good traction getting going with the grabbers. Definitely some slipping when stopping and turning on icy spots. ABS did a good job. Probably fine for the first year, but 3 peak or better yet winter tires will definitely do better. The three peak tires I want don't come in the stock size. Hoping there are more options next year.
