I'm buying a cheap set of rubber that I can stud,since I've discovered a decent set of 4 snow tires is unattainable for under 1200 bucks but I can get these no name studable ones for 600 for all 4.
For me I am concerned about stopping,and turning,and of course being able to avoid those people who think they can exceed the speed limit on frozen roads and still stop at red lights.
Deals can be had out there but there are always trade offs. The tires I have now look like they would be great in the summer and mud,but once they are frozen they just don't stick.
Those Kumho's sound like the OEM Goodyear Wrangler HP's so many Rams come with. My 08 Ram with those HP's was like driving on greased ball bearings if there was any kind of slippery wet agent on the ground even in 4WD. Heck, they were even slippery on dry pavement. Swapped them out for some good all season tires( Firestone Destination LE's )and my Ram did fine in the snow even in 2WD.
