Summer tires can act very skittish even on cold dry pavement, their compounding is not equipped to handle cold. Been there, done that, never again.
Snow tires really give you a great excuse to buy really nice summer wheels and use the OE wheels for snow tires.

lol, i like looking at tire rack comments for summer only's and seeing people complain and giving them 1 star because they suck in the snow
dedicated snow tires obviously wont be better than a 4x4/awd, but its a hell of a lot better then any other option
