Yes You Need Snow Tires

That's the going rate

My guy was a friend, I guess he was hooking me up.

BACK to my original question > Does anyone have experience with ALL WEATHER tires, and what is you impression of them vs ALL SEASON TIRES.

Look at a light AT tire I think they will do better. AS work for the half of their life then they get squirrelly.

I went ahead and recently got General Altimax 365 AW for Subaru Ascent. Tire also has "3-peak snowflake" rating. Looking forward to see how it performs in winter.

I said this before and I'll say it again, all season tires work great for all seasons with the exception of winter. I don't care where you live, if you plan on being a skier, YOU NEED SNOW TIRES!

"All Weather" is a different category from usual "all season"

I've always used winter tires but they are mostly useful for getting out of the parking lot when they plow you in, or for parking on the street in Albany. Sanding/salting/plowing has gotten much better than when I had to drive all over Upstate for work. Very few people use snow tires around here anymore, and the problem is traffic more than traction. Back in the 1970s sometimes there was ice on my road from December until March. Now there's only a few snowy days every year and if it gets bad you came usually stay home or go in late.
OTOH the best skiing is on the worst driving days, so I'm still using winter tires. My partner is nervous about driving in the snow so I put snow tires on her car so that I don't have to drive her to work. That's 2 sets of tires to catch an occasional good day at Gore, which is totally worth it to me. YMMV.
