It's great that you have a 4X4, but you need to put decent tires on it with both more than 1/4" of tread and not an all season tread.
I have two sets of tires, five of each, all mounted on matching rims. They get changed from winter to summer tires depending on the snow and ice. When the winter tires are getting a little worn on the tread, I'll then run them a summer or two to finish using up the tread.
The Cooper Discoverer M&S tire, unstudded, is a popular tire up here for those that run them year around and don't change tires for the season.

Bill, Having two sets makes perfect sense. I'm conflicted on going to this expense as a mobile person, but agree on your comments about all season tires. I'm generally not a winter driver and would like to avoid the expense of a second set and also the higher noise level with the more aggressive winter tread. I'm going to think on this a while. I may end up punting with an all season with some chains or socks to get me through winters.
