It’s beyond insane to me that someone would spent that kind of money on a truck to run factory all-seasons in the winter. Like a decent set of winters is less than one months payment on these rigs. Love having a Denali miss it’s corner by 20’ because it’s owners a ####ing clown with some really stupid idea idea of value.
It has to be a truck guy thing or something, right? Most of my truck guy friends think it’s super weird I have winter tires. We live on an acreage and the whole purpose of us having a truck is to ensure we can get out of our driveway if we need to in lots of snow or ice. It is a very minor incremental cost and performance in winter is so much better.

And of course, it’s the yahoos running factory all-seasons that pass me going 120 on the highway in slippery conditions and then end up in the ditch at the one curve that is always extra icy….haha.
