My stock Good Year HP's did fine in the big snow/ice storm last year. Mine a 2wd even. You just have to drive like you have some sense, everything will slide if abused.
I didn't like the performance of mine last year. Wet snow tended to cake on the tires and of course that is not good for traction at all. I also drove in a decent storm with them and nearly slid off the road. If I can afford it, I plan on getting something new before this winter. Most likely Cooper Zeon LTZ's, but I really like the look of the Nittos. They are quite a bit more expensive though. I am really not happy with Goodyear tires at all. My 2000 Dakota had them and they were just as bad as these are. Even in the rain they sometimes slip.
the first thing i bought for my 08 4x4 was black steel rims and new cooper discoverer M/S winter tires paid 950.00 total installed and balanced got a deal on the tires through my dad and the oe rims through a buddy that owns a body shop great tires in the snow and ice and we had lots of that last winter here in midland on canada
