[QUOTE="dieselloverfr06, post: 29919, member: 10694"] Our 2018 Equinox 1.6 Turbo diesel had been at the dealer more than a year when we bought it late April 2018. I think it had over 4k miles on it at that time. Certainly it also had done a lot of sitting around. it was a January ice storm where the AWD and traction control plus antilock was completely useless even though I was moving at less than 10 mph. This led to my checking tread depth and then going to my favorite tire shop about the Michelins on the car. They told me about OEM tires and showed me the codes on the tire sidewall that showed it was special production tires for Chevrolet OE. I think the depth was around 5. We did not change them right away even though Minnesota is one place you do need winter tires. I researched what tire might be best for awhile and changed them out late fall 2019. Car now has about 50K miles on it and brand new winter tires installed 2 weeks ago. Come next spring I am going with a second set of wheels with summer quiet comfort ride tires so road trips will be more enjoyable. Driving a vehicle that can get 35-40 city mileage and up to 60 highway can be fun! [/QUOTE]
