[Turbowned]

I don't know but I imagine they must be coming out with all-seasons now. In every experience I've had with RWD in the snow (Camaro, MR2 MK1 and MKII, E30 BMW), all-seasons didn't cut it. I had to switch to dedicated snows in order to get moving if there was more than an inch of snow on the ground. One time in the E30 I got caught on a hill in light snow because some jackass stopped in front of me, and the all-season Michelins wouldn't grip the road enough to get me up the hill; had to turn tail and go the other way! I got caught in a blizzard in my MR2 Turbo before I put my snows on and the all-seasons just barely got me home (I work only 3mi from home); from a stoplight, I had to accelerate at a 45 degree angle for a few hundred yards before the car finally straightened out.

I'd just hate to take the chance of getting stuck driving in it and not having enough grip. Snow tires with dedicated wheels are <$1k and worth every penny IMO. If you think you can get away with not having them, more power to you I guess.
