What a lot of respondents aren’t understanding is just how wet and slick the snow can be here West of the Cascades. Just because OP has an AWD car doesn’t mean it’ll stop or steer better than a 2WD car in the snow. Personal experience: we have used Michelin X-ice tires on a Honda Accord and a 3 series BMW. Both were great in the snow. For our Subaru we use Michelin CrossClimates and they’ve been great for wet and dry and surprisingly good in snow. They’re all-seasons that are snow rated.
