I talked with a couple of people about the Toyo's in snow. They weren't that great from what I heard. I personally have not run them in snow/ice, so this is second hand.
I have ran the BFG MT's in the snow, 35's and 37's. THey are the worst tire for those conditions.
I am currently running the ProComp Extreme AT 37 13.50 17, and they are great in the snow conditions. I also had the chance last Summer to run them in loose river rock, sand, slick rock (Moab), and some nasty mud. They did great for me. I have them on our H2 and H3 now.
FWIW- I almost went with the Toyo's. My concern was snow driving. After two reviews from members on this forum, I decided to stay with an agressive AT tire instead. The Toyo's are great tires on everything else from what I have heard though.
When you say the Toyos are siped, take a look at a true AT tire and comopare them, there are many more sipes in each tread block in a true AT tire. I'm not sure the one sipe per tread block is enough for great handling on the snow.

If you plan to keep the stock AT's for winter and want MT's for SUmmer, I think that would be the way to go. ...just my 2 cents.
Maybe other that are driving thier Toyos through snow and icy conditions can chime in here.
