I always enjoyed maneuvering around stranded 4wd SUVs as their drivers stood by scratching their heads.

The only limitation was fresh snow more than 6" deep, on which the car would ski up and get stranded with wheels of the ground. This happened only once, after which I used some self imposed common sense restrictions.
My Nissan Sentra rolls on Nokian Hakka R tyres... the stability is incredible and I have passed a lot of stranded AWD cars and trucks and ridden though all our northern mountain passes in winter and even during major storms with few worries.

Nokian winter bicycle tyres are better than their car tyres when it comes to travelling on ice.
