personally Mike, it would depend on how badly you need to be where you are trying to go. for example, i as a commuter (actually I still am) and it snowed one day i had an exam. Rutgers doesn't close, ever. I got stuck. I dug and dug and eventually made it, but any normal car would have made it. granted I still had summer tires on (this was early December!) but I still wouldn't take that chance again, especially now in grad school. that is how my old isuzu happened.

In any event, take that in to consideration. Before I commuted and had no where to be, it was easy sufficing with all-seasons even. Even now that my school is close enough to walk, I put tires on my saturn that supposedly sacrifice snow prowess for dry and rain handling. its all about the driving style you do. But then again, my camaro now has a big cam, gears, and a ridiculous clutch that would make snow driving a chore. cars that are closer to stock are much easier to deal with.
