Doesn't matter what you are driving, often times there is that slick layer of black ice under the dusting that will make you slide around out of control. I would give it a few more runs in deeper snow before dumping money unless you have it and then go all out!

The small amount of snow we had and the fact that it has been below the freezing point for two days leaving the ground very cold allowed the snow to compact down into ice after the first vehicle went over it. It just looked innocent but everyone had trouble on the stuff this morning. I have the rubicon tires on my Jeep and slid to a stop when going under 20mph and felt the tail end slipping around at that speed also. I suspect it will be the same when the snow is packed hard two days after a significant storm if one ever gets here. 
That's not stopping me from wanting a foot or so to play in this winter.

I'll have to check it out again then and make sure there's no problems cause it was disengaging in 2wd and 4lo just not 4hi.Thanks,

I could not believe how much I was sliding around...heck my old 2 door YJ on 36in swampers didn't have this much trouble.

35" KM2's here and got no issues at all driving in snow and ice. Mine arent siped either, i just downshift when I need to slow down and use the brakes only when i have to. We had some crazy ice on the roads here in Colorado last week and I didnt slide around at all. I'm also aired down to about 25psi which helps
