Don't use the Burb much in the winter..it's primarily a tow vehicle for my 7500# travel trailer...but I get PLENTY of snow and and have to climb two unpaved 8% dugways to get to my house. I buy used snowies (Blizzaks at the moment) for $30-40 each, slap them on some old steel wheels and run them all winter. They are load range E so I can run down south, hook up the trailer, and take my 4-5 day golf trips without having to change tires/wheels. This is my 3rd winter on the current tires. Makes a BIG difference when I need the Burb in a winter emergency (like 2' of snow in an hour or so.) My wife and I drive little front wheel drive cars otherwise and, with studded snow tires, they go anywhere, but have trouble when clearance an issue.
