loss of traction in snow

Shovel the snow from the driveway when it snows and throw it in to the bed! Free weight that will empty itself as the temps rise... Lots of people do that around here.
Regardless, I am also confused why the OP is having such difficulty with his Cooper Discoverer AT3s. I have them in 285/70-17s and am pleased. They aren't the absolute best snow tire I've ever used, but with this season's record snow falls in my region, I haven't really had any problems with them.
They are Load Range E, and I run them at 50psi. I normally have no weight in the bed, besides the fiberglass bed cover. I do recommend weight in the bed as any tire will struggle weightless in a truck. Don't get overzealous with the accelerator, and use your 4x4 when you need to. And stay away from ice of any flavor. No tire does very well on ice (studded not included).
