Some SUV manufacturers recommend leaving an all terrain tire on all
year around. Seems that the vehicle will tend to tip over less if
the tires can slide sideways when overcornered a bit.

I keep Michelins on mine all year round...the same thing that makes
them good in Sierra snow makes them good in unexpected downpours.
If I did more timber road or rocky driving would probably change
to a Pirelli Scorpion AT with the extra ply sidewalls. For
hard core rock crawling, I'd just change the vehicle.
