For you, a difference of 64% shorter stopping distance might be a "small increase", for me it might be the difference between a safe stop and a collision.

I've been changing over my tires for the past 7 years. IMO the biggest problem with all season tires and AWD is that the AWD will get you going in the snow but the all season tires don't STOP you in the snow. If you live in an area that gets snow (like MA) more than occasionally and you need to drive in it, winter tires are the way to go.
All season tires = mediocre performance year round!
I went with the staggered setup with summer performance tires and Pirelli Sottozero's for the winter.
If you absolutely positively have to get there either go FedEx or get winter tires.
