Guys, dont forget that during snow driving 4X4 only helps you with half the problem which is getting going. The second, and more important (safety wise), part of the problem is slowing down and coming to a stop. For the latter you will need good snow tires, period. All vehicles have 4 wheel braking, not just 4X4 trucks. I think sometimes people who drive 4X4s forget this and think they can stop quicker and thats why when it snows I see so many SUVs with ignorant drivers running off the road or slammed into some poor saps trunk at a red light. Please don't underestimate the importance of good snow tires for winter driving.
Also, regarding the ride of 17" vs 18" tires, the 17" tire provides more sidewall and will therefore provide a SOFTER ride than the 18", contrary to some other opinions above. If the the titans with OR PKG feel firmer then its because of the shocks, not the tires.
