Normal mode works well for me, and like others said, traction control is a lifesaver. Winter tires make a huge difference too—can’t underestimate how much they help in these temps! Just keep an eye on tire pressure since it drops in the cold, too.
Hey all, I ended up grabbing the Weathertech mats, the one @GreenDrive recommended! they fit perfectly and feel super sturdy. Already noticing a huge difference in keeping the snow and slush in check. Thanks a ton for the tip, everyone!
