Are the OE rubber mats good for snow and slush? Or should I order the Weather Techs?

Thanks for any insight!

I already have the OE ones...

The ones from LR are great. Got us through 6 winters here in the Northeast, and will soon put them back in for another.

Both hold a lot of water, the Weather Tech are cupped so they hold more. Good and bad….Look for yourself. Look at the front……The Weather Tech are much wider and extend out to the door sill. A lot hits the carpet before it gets to the OE. Bad thing in front is the passenger side on the Weather Tech is short. The OE goes all the way up under the dash. Your tall passenger will get his big feet all over the carpet under the dash with just the Weather Tech. Driver’s side is equal in length. Look at the back……Weather Tech are wide at the sill but the OE wraps all the way to the back of the seat. I’m **** I run both. OE can’t touch the driver side protection the Weather Tech gives you and you cause all the mud. My thought.. run both in front, nothing better for protecting the carpet. Pass on the back the OE give you better coverage. If you’re **** like me run both and the cargo matt.

My OE mats have worked great. Kids, dogs, cleats, spills, no problem.

I have both

Both hold a lot of water, the Weather Tech are cupped so they hold more. Good and bad….Look for yourself. Look at the front……The Weather Tech are much wider and extend out to the door sill. A lot hits the carpet before it gets to the OE thats why I have both. Bad thing in front is the passenger side on the Weather Tech is short. The OE goes all the way up under the dash. Your tall passenger will get his big feet all over the carpet under the dash with just the Weather Tech. Driver’s side is equal in length. Look at the back……Weather Tech are wide at the sill but the OE wraps all the way to the back of the seat. I’m **** I run both.
