Nissan Pathfinder - should I fit winter tyres?

I cannot decide whether I need to fit winter tyres to my Nissan Pathfinder (2006) or a decent 4x4 tyre. Basically I am looking at either the Michelin Latitude Cross or the Nokian SUV G3. Will the Michelin be ok in the snow/ice or should I put winter tyres on the Nissan?

Vredestein probably does a Quatrac all weather tyre the size you need and you could then leave them on all year round. All tyres need to be changed at the same time. The Michelin Latitude Cross gets very high review ratings, but it is a summer rather than a winter tyre. Latitude Alpins are Michelin's 4x4 cold weather tyres.
