The tires are not as important as the driver in most cases, a good snow driver could get by with bad tires, but a bad snow driver won't benefit from good tires.
I am a good snow driver, but the stock tires are no help in lots of snow.
The AWD is the ticket to good snow-ability!

The key to driving in snow is not to overestimate your abilities, and be aware of the conditions at hand. Such as not driving, unless it is necessary.

I used to have a 4x2 Escape (have an '05 4x4 now), and it did better than anything else I've ever seen in the snow for a 2wd car. Of course I would recommend the 4x4 but the 2 was superior in snow to any other 4x2 vehicle I've ever seen/driven
