Are you looking for a full size, mid size or crossover? That would narrow down suggestions.

EDIT: but to be fair to Max... I'm sure the tires that come standard on that truck would have some pretty heavy treads..

If possible just get a beater (as a spare car) and use that when the weather sucks.

^ true that. The AWD system on many small SUV's is not that good. Still, it is better than FWD alone. To me, it goes AWD/4x4 + winter tires > FWD + winter tires > AWD/4x4 > FWD, along with Max's...

I don't know about SUV's but around here, when there is any ice on the roads, all the pickup trucks end up in the ditches.

More weight = more pressure on the tires, which is going to translate to more traction. You can have the best treds in the world, but if you have no weight on it, it will still slide.

See the post above this one.
For that case in point, I'm not sure it's purely a "weight" thing. People do that on RWD cars too, to keep the back end down on the road. (FWD cars don't need it...)

Smaller SUV = less mass = less traction. Bigger (taller) SUV = more unstable in high winds.

We have a Santa Fe (love it) - if you want more compact I'd recommend checking out an AWD Tucson.
Hyundai is still the best bargain out there.

You really think so?? I mean... unless we're talking about the difference between off road vs year round tires, I don't see where tire type is going to make that much of a difference.

The only thing I have a problem with is that they say ice and snow have the same traction coefficient. Common sense tells you this simply is not true. Kinda casts doubt on some of their numbers IMO.

Umn... no. It proves that if you have an idiot as the driver, AWD doesn't do anything. I bet even if you put studded snow tires, that idiot would still do donuts.
