Those are probably amongst the very worst vehicles you could drive in the winter and I have done them daily with little issue through the biggest snow storms Calgary has to offer. If you living in Calgary and really, really need a 4x4 it's because you aren't a very good driver. The issue is people running crappy all-season tires in the winter. Mandatory winter tires would clean up a lot of accidents and people getting stuck in this province.

Hooray! An early start to the winter tire debate this year! Looking forward to hearing some new anecdotes from both sides!
