How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs.

If you have AWD, or if you don't have AWD, in both cases, you still need winter tires. There is a reason they are obligatory for a couple months per year in Quebec. It's illegal to drive without them in winter here because if there is one thing we know, it's snow. Not only do you need them to stop safely on snow and ice, but you need them to adhere to the ground when turning, both at low and high speeds, even without snow or Ice.
The ground is so cold that even if we melt the snow using salt, your summer tires won't adhere as well as they would, and you could find yourself losing control.
