I'll be traveling southwest Utah and eastern Nevada over the next month. If I stay to the highways and byways, is there a reason to carry snow chains? Is 4WD good enough on snow and snowpack? Thanks.

what tires are you running?
only time I found I really needed cables/chains was off road on deep snow or ice. In that last many years I've used cables twice on main roads and that was in Texas when we had 2" of ice on the road.
Since you're staying on main roads you should be fine.
you have 4wd and snowpack should be fine, unless it's deep enough to hit bumper level.

I had a set of snow chains for mine but returned them because I didn't need them 4 wheel drive and a good set of all terrain tires will do just fine. But if your going to be a lot a lot of ice then I would just say be careful aha. Iv rear-ended a car before on black ice and still had good snow tires.

You will be fine without. Duratrac tires are probably the best rated 4x4 tire for snow and ice. I have ran many tires in the snow and I'm a true believer in duratracs. Have them on my WJ
