Snow tires?

M/T tires aren't great snow tires, unless you're driving in mash-potato snow like the west side of the Cascades get. A regular A/T snow tires will do better in all other conditions.

Howdy neighbor! After living in the Sierra's for most of my years, we moved to North Idaho two decades ago--love it. I've had the most aggressive studded snow tires I could find for over 40 years, and have never been sorry. If you make the change to winter tires, make them useful. Mine are mounted on rims that I change myself, and only run them for about 5 months in the winter.
IF we head South this year (towing), I won't put them on. But come November, steel hits the pavement. Yeah, I know they are detrimental to pavement and are noisy, but when you want to stop quickly, they work. Just IMHO....

Bridgestone Blizzak, not the cheap ones, the pricey ones ... I use the LM-60 on my AWD Subaru every winter and it's unstoppable in snow; i've helped free several stuck 4wd pickup trucks.

It's an all terrain tire though.
Big lugs of a mud tire would help sling the snow from the tread and claw through the deep stuff.

My truck plows snow when not towing... I have had the Nitto Terra Grappler for a while... they do great for plowing...

I developed tire squirm with my last set when towing, so I dumped them and went into the street version- Dura Grappler...
