I got my 4x4 ranger past fall and got to test it out a good amount through the winter as well. I love how it handles in the snow, feels really safe. Even during the winter storm in 2+ ft of snow the traction was awesome (I didn't have to go into work that day but obviously had to go on a snow adventure).

I live in michigan and I think in areas that see even at least one or two occasions of significant snowfall a year, a car that drives well in snow is definitely an essential investment, especially living in a hilly area I see too many cars every year that are stuck or have spun off...

It's definitely a lot better when it's just straight up snow and can leave it in 4hi, compared to on and off snow and bare pavement mix. Sand / weight in the back made a huge difference for me.

If it's any consolation, the Bridgestone tires on my XL aren't anything to write home about either. I'm thinking Vredenstein or Continental/General this fall. Maybe Yoko Geolandar -- something with severe snow service rating. Does anyone have any winter favorites?
Best I ever had was Toyo open country at/2 which is now at/3. Good in , mud, and on pavement. Of course your results may vary. I've ran bfg, general, cooper, and many others. The toyo was my favorite all round tire. Had 3 peaks rating. They will be my next set after the factory Hankooks wear out

I'll check them out, Mike. Thanks.
