For those that live in SoCal
If I get a say 06 Tacoma 4WD with all season tires. Will I be able to drive up big bear to snowboard while snowing on the road without chains? Or would I have to have snow tires?

I drove up w/ a Lexus GX, also 4wd, on all seasons during a storm without any problems.
The rangers up there just make sure you have chains in your car, just in case of some emergency, but they didn't make me put them on.

i have an 06 4wheel drive and did just fine last winter with out chains. drove like a grandma of course. this year i'm definitly using chains though. extra precaution never hurts

when i used to live up there, i drove up in a lexus RX with snow tires and no chains during some decent snow, i was fine.

and if I were to put chains on a 4wd would I need to put chains on all 4 wheels or just the back 2 is fine?
