Setting for driving on ice?.
I posted this on the chat thread & it was suggested I repost on this thread.
Have ordered 2015 Cherokee Limited - loaded. Since this is my first Jeep I am unfamiliar with the "drive settings"....auto, snow, etc. I live in the NE and occasionally get caught in a freezing rain/ice situation. Have been running Michelin Xice tires on my current vehicle but aside from the obvious I was curious as to whether any one setting veteran Jeep owners might consider preferable in a similar situation.
Thanks,
Bob M.

Fancy Jeeps haha. Like said above I'd lose traction control as thats gonna end up stopping forward progress. Not familiar with the whole settings thing, but when Ice gets bad here(super rare) I throw it in 4 hi and go. that being said, I drive on Duratracs which kinda suck on ice.
