Partly true but my wife's Outback is still riding the OEM all season Contintentals and they are still good enough to get around in Calgary winters. If we did a lot of skiing and winter highway driving I would probably fit some winter tires. The best setup is AWD with winter tires without a doubt but you can get by on AWD and all-seasons. The bottom line in winter is that it still comes down to 80/20 driver/tires as if you drive properly according to the conditions you can get by with all-seasons on an AWD car. Unfortunately a good percentage of drivers in Calgary are extremely poor which is why if this province ever implemented mandatory winter tire laws I would be fine with it.
