Actually you don't, you risk your life every time you drive in snow.
AWD has no positive effect on braking at all. All season tires are not for any location that gets temperatures that approach freezing.
Winter tires have way more effect than AWD on ability to drive in snow, on ice, or even on dry (but cold) pavement.
The OP here...
Lazy? Not really.
I do wonder about the timing of when to change to winter tires. Here in Northern AZ, we can get an early snowstorm in November that clogs up I-17 N from 50 miles south of Flag the rest of the way into town. Blizzards are not unkown in early April.
To be sure I'd be ready, I'd have to change to winter tires pretty early in the season, and keep them on until the chance of a late spring storm is over. But between storms, the weather can be mild.
AWD Tesla would give me much, but not all, of the snow tire advantage without having to worry about when to change tire sets, and not needing them when the weather is good.
That's how I see it, but I may not be correct.
