You've already got the tires, just put about 500-600lbs. of sand bags in the back and roll out!

I liked Michelin LTX on my 94 F150 and 98 Jeep Wrangler. Good A/T characteristics.

I've heard good things about Michelin and Cooper, but I'm biased as I work for Goodyear lol
BFGs I've also heard good things about.

My BFG A/T KO's kick *** in the snow. I almost never put it in 4x4. ****, I think I've only needed it twice in the last four years. They are expensive but nice.

Also keep in mind that a snowfall this early is going to give you the worst traction possible. The closer the snow is to melting the slipperier it gets. Once the real cold sets in and firms the snow up a little you'll have a lot less trouble.

Thanks for all the info guys. Had to get a new-to-me vehicle( 94 exploder 4x4) to replace Big Blue, my F150. BigBlue i no longer have because of an a**hole( guess what happened...) and the exploder came with a brand new set of all terrains. Ice isn't an issue with it as I just put her in 4x and it stops great
