Is there any chance I can make it through a typical winter (4" of snow on ground but usually plowed within an hour, temps in the 30's) with these?
And anyone have an idea how many more MPG's I can get switching from the 20's to 18's? i'm getting about 10 city now, uggh.
Thanks.

Don't even try the Dueler's in the snow. I did this past Feb, right after I picked up the vehicle, and they are downright dangerous in the cold and snow. I bought a set of 19's with Hankook IPikes.
Also, a thinner width tire will yield very little MPG improvement. The 4.8 is a hog on gas. It is what it is.
