I grew up in Jersey. We never needed 4x4's...we had front wheel drives with regular tires...this is a common reason we see, on this forum, that people need their 4x4's. I lived in Iowa for 3 years and got around better in my SRT-4 than half the people with 4x4's. There are LRR's out there that can handle snow. Sorry, not picking on you, just trying to help!!

But, from a money saving standpoint, wait until your current tires wear out. The gas savings won't overcome the price of the tires for a while.
