I have a 2024 OBX on order (2.7L Luxe) which is going to be my daily driver in the Minneapolis metro with the occasional (hopefully increasing in frequency!) trips to rural roads and forest areas. So with that, I actually prefer the smaller tires of that trim (in terms of appearance) and don't care as much for the SAS.
Having said that, reading these forums I am now realizing the 2024 only has 4H, not 4A unless I go to SAS or Badlands which has the larger tires that I prefer less in addition to the price jump. (I test drove a 2023, and I just glossed over this detail in my hurry to get the 2024 order in)
I've read comments that snow tires are the more practical investment for winter driving safety, while others say the 4A is well worth the extra cost to just set it and forget it during the winter, others say stock tires and manually flipping between works just fine for them. I've haven't owned an AWD/4WD car that wasn't an automatic mode, and my other cars have been FWD, so not sure what to expect in daily city snow and ice. Is this something I should re-evaluate on my order? Or am I overthinking this, and if I need to, I just get snow tires later?
