4x4 not to be used on dry high traction surfaces.

Yeah you could have had great traction. If the tires are biting on the pavement, then it will bind. When you feel that, take it out of 4x4.

you should only be in 4WD if you theres no way 2WD is going to get you where you need to go. Thats the rule I go by.

I havent needed my 4WD the past two days and they dont plow much were I live. I didnt even lock my hubs.

If you have auto hubs you might want to concider getting manual hubs so that if the weather is bad you can just switch between 4WD and 2WD without stopping...as long as your hubs are locked that is.
