Yes, fix the driveway but you still need the right tires. I have had 4 Chrysler Corp mini-vans and have put a semi-aggressive winter tire on all 4 wheels on all of htem. These vans will go anywhere under normal HIGHWAY winter driving conditions that a 4x4 will. (Yes--ICE doesn't count--I know that!) But these vans will go on the road or up and down my steep driveway during winter storms up here on the NY/PA border. Without these tires, they are no better than anything else. My Ford Ranger: for years, I ran a fairly aggressive tire and could go about anywhere, on road, off road, etc (Yes-NOT on ice) but this year, because my driving changed to longer highway trips, I changed to a much less aggressive winter tire and now have trouble going where I used to go with ease, even in four wheel drive. So-----fix the driveway, what ever, ???. But get the right tires, add some extra weight but the traction with the right tires and the weight is what it's all about, not fixing the driveway. Amazing!!!
