I live in Colorado and I can tell you that snow tires are a must during the winter. Thankfully, snow melts pretty quickly here because it's usually not the heavy wet snow that you find in the northeast and midwest.

Depends on how much you drive - my commute is 50 mi - ya it sucks- and I put snow tires on a subaru for the commute. When I had a 10 min commute I didnt need them.

There is a noticeble difference between all seasons and snow tires in traction/stopping on snowy surfaces

I live in S Ont so similar to Baasten

Grew up in New Orleans, moved to CO 30 years ago and have never had snow tires. I've had FWD and 4WD vehicles and only needed chains once on the FWD when I was climbing a huge hill in Breckenridge.

If you have an AWD, just have good tread on your all season tires.

I have never owned snow tires driving in Colorado. Just need to make sure you have good treaded all terrains.

I have traveled up and down plenty of steep mountain passes, Pikes Peak being one that has no guard rails. Haha. That’s a fun one to bring the weak hearted for a drive.
