Exactly. Tires = grip. Without the proper tires, it doesn't matter what vehicle or drivetrain you have as the power can't get to the road. Grip also = shorter braking distances. AWD/RWD/etc. also has nothing to do with braking -- tires do.

What others have said. Doesn’t matter if you drive a Humvee, snow tires + understanding of winter driving (including common sense) is all you need.
And make sure you check your tire pressure at least once a month.

It's pricey as hell for what you get. But yeah it will be good in snow with AWD and decent snow tires.

No. You need a 6x6 G wagon.

I had to drive around with 20 bricks in the hatch.

great for emergencies too, if you get stuck you can use it melt ice.
