Since I am new to the Durango, I have not been able to take it through snow. Can anyone give me insight as to how they handle in snow? Mine is a V-6 AWD. Thanks in advance.

Terrible. More accurately terrible with the OEM all seasons because all seasons suck. My R/T with the Khumos was a slippery, cluster**** disaster that would not turn or brake. I bought 18" wheels and mounted some Blizzak DM-V1s and it is a frigging tank. We just got our second good snowstorm of the year and I was out yesterday all over town and it was awesome. If you live anywhere with a decent amount of snow throughout the winter you should rock two sets of tires, winters and something else (IMHO).

I have heard bad things about those, but I think the ones on my crew would fair better(I think they are good years)

I couldn't agree more with you! I never understood it, until someone loaned me theirs for an inspection(I was in Japan, and in the winter, winter tires were required) It is night and day different to have good winter tires!
My 2012 V6 AWD with the 20's came with Goodyear Fortera rubber. So far I have not been able to get any wheelspin in any kind of rain or on wet leaves. I'm hoping that this is a sign that I won't need a set of Blizzaks like I used to run on my Maxima. Can't wait to try it out in a good snowstorm.
WI winters can be lousy, especially if you live in a small town where plowing (and fixing roads) is frowned upon as a frivilous expense.
