Siping will get you a little more grip but those all seasons will become hard as a rock when the temperature dips and you'll become just another one of those 4x4's in the ditch on a nice, icy day. Once the miserable weather starts, ditch the good FE all seasons and put on the winters tires/wheels!

Take the 1-2mpg hit with the winter tires. It costs a lot less then fixing your truck because you slid into the back of someone!

As for taller tires, make sure they will fit without rubbing. You can only upsize so far before your first corner rubs a nice hole in your fender wall.
