PSA: use them even if you have a 4×4. Four-wheel drive only helps you go. Winter tires help you go, too, but will also help you stop and turn, which are pretty darned important.

Any traction system on your car will only perform as good as the rubber on your tires allows it to.

Very true, summer tires on a wrx won’t cut it, I’ve seen them in the ditch before

A lot of the mud tires on big trucks are terrible in the snow.

My last pickup had snow rated tires, they were fantastic. The new one will get them when the current tires need replacing.
