I enthusiastically recommend the Nokia Hakkepelitta 10C's. I live in Lake
Tahoe with my 2wd van and love them. Last year was my first year out here
and the day I got the tires was the day of our first winter
storm.(sometime in October) As I drove back up from Reno I passed several
cars off the side of the highway, some upside down, and,of course, some
4wd. This was a result of ice on the road in lower elevations. As I drove
up(1500 vertical feet in a couple of miles)  to my friend's place the
roads changed from ice to about 8 inches of snow. I drove right up a
curvy 12% grade passing people with chains. I have also driven down the
same hill in a large storm. Not once all winter did I need to put on
chains. They are not cheap. I paid right around $500 for the tires,
studs, and mounting and balancing. With all of the beautiful snow that we
get here, though, they are more than worth it.
