Deep snow: 4Runner on Falkens was absolutely amazing, so it's hard for me to really judge the all seasons. The Tesla did OK, I didnt feel any major traction control kicking in. Braking was ok. Compacted snow: AWD system seems decent overall, however, ice covered snow, like the one you have after some cars drive over the snow, it slides like sled downhill
Probably the inertia of the 4500lb.
We had some of that Buffalo storm and some of the roads were really covered, other parts black ice. Rolled over cars everywhere, roads closed, trucks out in the fields; I drove like an angel and really took my time.
In my case, I am getting the winters this weekend. Cant really justify buying such an expensive vehicle and skipping out on tires.
In your case? I would still get them, all you need is a decent storm. They say under 7C a low tier winter tire performs better than a top tier all season. it's not all about the grooves, it is also about the rubber elasticity and grip on the frozen asphalt. If you really don't go places, only 10 min work, nah, its fine. We do travel places in the winter so it is a must for me.
In Ontario, my insurance discounts me 15% with winters.
