I ' m running BFG All Terrain KO 2 ' s which are some of the best rated AT tires on snow and ice . Now I ' ll readily admit they ' ll never be as good as good dedicated snowice tires but they ' re still pretty damned solid the times I ' ve taken them on snow and ice . I was fortunate enough to grow up driving in Utah and going to school in upstate NY so I ' ve seen and driven in more than my fair share of snowiceshitty conditions . I know to take it slow and keep every movement very deliberate . One of the worst accidents I ' ve ever seen was a Jeep Cherokee coming home from Tahoe who was driving the speed limit and lost it on a turn and went over the side of the mountain , that sort of thing has an impact and stays with you ie don ' t be stupid , 4 x 4 won ' t save you if you lose traction and if you ' re going to fast you will lose traction as soon as you try to change directions . I will admit that I slipped a few times going up but in general it was take it slow and let the truck pull itself up . I ' m certainly not going to do anything to get myself dead .
