Cheska, if you live in a place where you can expect those conditions on the road, it would be wise to invest on a good set of snow rated tires. As correctly stated before by Trini, the stock tires on the LR3 are designed mostly for dry, well packed surfaces, not of any real use on snow/mud. Also, remember that if you expect to drive in a situation where some tire spin is expected or even desired such as in deep sand, mud or deep snow, you should turn off the DSC on your dash controls. Leaving the DSC on would only work AGAINST you in those surfaces. Always remember to turn it BACK on when returning to a hard surface for your safety.
One last tip, the Snow/Ice setting is primarily for slippery conditions when you need smoother take offs which is why it forces your transmission to start in 3rd gear. This takes considerable power away from your wheels which is perfect on ice but terrible if your stuck in an snow filled rut. Use mud/rut settings for that instead with low range selected. Hope this helps out!
