When I first moved from Tennessee to Alaska, I drove the Al-Can highway at the end of August/Early September. I hit snow coming into Whitehorse, on my (at the time) M-sport summer tires. It took me two days to finish what should have taken less than one, and I was white-knuckle praying every time I hit an incline or curve. I ended up buying a set of dedicated winter wheels/tires almost immediately after making it to Anchorage, and even with those, I had to really be wary of the throttle.

When an x-drive CPO became available at the local dealer, I jumped on it. I still run my winters, even though the OEM all-seasons are ok. Buy winters if your area has snow regularly!
