Tire Question -- All Seasons Vs. Snow Tires?

[ezdays]

You're right Russ, I'd avoid going the northern route in the winter. Several times a year, I-40 is shut down somewhere between Williams and Winslow, or even a bit further east, because of snow. And as I said, I-17 is usually the same thing. Going the I-10 route is much more scenic anyway through those states.
