It makes a difference whether you are talking about snow and ice on flat roads or whether the driver will be encountering hilly terrain. I would not tackle the hills where we used to live with so called all weather tires regardless of the vehicle being driven; I have seen many cars stranded during snowy, icy conditions. I was told by a Vermonter that they call all weather tires “summer tires” and they roll their eyes at those who try to drive with them in bad conditions. Subaru was definitely the car of choice when we lived in the frozen northeast but there were plenty of Honda CR-Vs and Toyota Rav 4s on the road as well. Personally, I’d combine the AWD car with snow tires for the worst of the weather but it really does depend where the driving is to take place.
