Ran Alpins on my van - very few problems even though it was 2-wheel drive, long wheel base, & large sail area - running 17" Scorpion Snow & Ice on my X5, which got me over Teton Pass - tall narrow snows work best as it allows full tread contact - but even I've gotten stuck when the snows exceeded my ground clearance ('79 Bronco) - had to dig the snow out from underneath so the wheels had contact again - most 4-wheeler have fun in 2-wheel drive and get themselves "unstuck" using 4-wheel drive - when that doesn't work, that's why most had winches, or had a buddy with a tug-um strap
