Few others have mentioned the same... its due to the fat wide tires.

I knew they were going to slide but not as much as I thought, guess my expectations were too high from everyone praising the DWS06 so much lol

Most of the time people just repeat what they've read on the forums. I take everyone's reviews here with a grain of salt unless they've actually used it and or use the tires on actual snow.

Was there a pun intended?? “Grain of salt” and snow

Agreed on this. It’s going to depend on the type of snow also. The wet heavy stuff can pose issues for even winter tires. Looks like that might be what is on the geound there. I had a set of pirelli ice & snows on my JGC and had trouble in some of the heavy wet stuff we get here in the PNW.

The lighter powdery snow, the stuff you can make snowballs out of often provides some surprisingly good traction.

I ended up installing the front because I want it to get settled first before matching the rears.

So far the car feels tighter, steering feels heavier but still the car is compliant over bumps. Its strange on the way back home hitting speed bumps did not feel as harsh on the front end!

All sounds positive so far. When do you plan to get rears in? It looked like you have rear air? Are the links not adjustable after they are installed?

Yes, just waiting for the front the settle in. So I will be matching rears exactly to the front.
