Reliable tires

Winter is coming and hubs just informed me that we will be needing new tires for his Chevy Tahoe. He will be driving to Kentucky all the time and he needs reliable tires to ensure his safety. I jokingly told him that he might also find snow chains useful on his drive to the mountainous areas. He said it's not as bad as I imagine it to be. We'll see. We had a mild winter last year and they are predicting it to be worse this year.
