My 2007 GMC 2500 had wheel well rust through last year. And from new I rinsed and care for it religiously. Thats how I ended up in an alumaduty.
All things considered Ill probably go square with all seasons when the GYs wear out. But who knows.

True that, I remember my kids digging an entire cave into the snow in 2013

What would happen if townships didn't salt at all and just relied on plowing and people's common sense (tires) and driving ability? Lawsuits or just blowback from media? Also, is there nothing else to be used, sand or something that isn't corrosive when mixed with water?

My wife's SUV is rusting already, which is ridiculous and very frustrating. Washing it is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation, because unless I'm mistaken, brine is way worse than caked on salt. I wonder if getting it washed weekly or even more frequently in the winter would help.
