I live in new mexico. We get about 2 really good "snow days", otherwise it's a light snow in the AM and it's gone by noon. The roads aren't plowed very well (if at all). In previous years, I've driven subaru's with AWD but my new van doesn't have AWD so I'm looking into snow tires.
The thing is, we don't get a LOT of snow. We don't get much moisture at all. Every few years we get a foot or so, but last year we didn't get more than 2-3 inches at a time and it's usually really slushy or frozen solid.
Is this something I need snow tires for? Or is this more appropriate for chains? We were really glad we had AWD 2 years ago when we went "home" to northern AZ for Christmas and the roads were ice the whole way.
