Default Locker relay mod usages

I did the locker relay mod-awesome mod! It's uses are obvious but I'm wondering about highway speeds after or during a snow storm. Lock the fronts, the backs, both or none? I also have done the ESP/ABS full shut off mod. How does that tie into the senario above?

You are not going to want to be locked in winter on icy highways at highway speed. Will be very easy to lose control of the jeep. As soon as you start to turn you will begin to lose traction. I would lock up only if you have to travel at very reduced speed.

I use mine to take the lug nuts off when when I forget to break them with the wheel on the ground
