I agree with Bruce and Mark. It really comes down to exactlly what you plan to do with the car and when you are going to be driving it. There is a difference between All-Season, Performance All-Seasons and snow tires. It basically boils down to what works best for you. Sometimes its trial and error.
My personal experience with my MS6 was that I liked the added performance from my summer tires over the all seasons so I kept summer tires for 3/4 of the year. Since I only switched tires during the winter I went to snow tires instead of an all-season. Just seemed to make sense.
On the other hand they whole rest of my fmaily runs one set of tires all year (well except my brother with his Mini S, he does what I do). My mother and sister have always run performance all-seasons and have never had an issue in the winter and they also are okay during the rest of the year. They are not big into performance stuff so it works for them.
My dad goes extreme and just garages the whole car all winter and bought a full size 4wd truck for the winter. Propably because he's too lazy to swap out tires on his car! lol j/k
Gary - Snow Tires and 300 lbs of sand seems mighty excessive! I'm not sure where you heard that. I did not use 4wd in my truck all that much untill my tires really startred to wear down or when I was being lazy and didn't want to worry about how I drove. If you have the bed liner and put the 2x6's in you can put 4 or 5 of the sand bags from home depot in and they fit snug (no sliding). Thats about 200 lbs and run some good tires (not real wide or aggressive, mud tire type). The Firestone Destinations have been great in our family for all year round.
Just a thought if you want to try to save a little money. Snow tires definitely would be the best way, but they are pricey.

Finished editing my photo shoot from this past weekend with the 3 models, Ferrari Testarossa, and my RX-8. Was loads of fun. My first time ever shooting models on my own as the main photographer.

I know people always worry about traction when thinking of snow tires and thus feel that only 2 are necessary. However, most winter accidents are caused during braking, not accelerating. To reduce braking distances in snow you need 4 snow tires, not just 2 on the back. It will also help keep the car or truck's handling in balance.

Words can not express how much fun it was. Would you believe all those shots were taken in the corner a full parking lot?

Well aside from coaching, now I am the official videograper for the team. I made 50 bucks this week making videos for the team. More and more orders coming in daily. May be able to get my new camera off this and make some more quality videos!!
