I have used winter tires as well as all season, the winter tires helped a bit, but more traction is needed. Snow tires with enough weight in back helps out a bunch, but it still disengages the AWD with ice.

Would not recommend a Trax then. I have gotten stuck at the bottom of the hill to my private road in Lebanon, doesn’t get plowed much by the town, thankfully a neighbor helps out. Have had to walk about 300 yards to get to my house before in some of the rougher weather. Studded tires would probably bridge the gap.

I have a 2018 Trax LS AWD, Chevy has now stopped making Trax in AWD for a reason. It is not good in anything with ice. Snow it does fine in, but if there is the tiniest bit of ice on a hill, the AWD breaks and disengages.

Here in Lebanon, Power been out since around 7:30am, tree fell all the way across the dirt road, but power company already came by to chop it up, still no power though.
