Hmmm...I know nothing about the Subaru all weather tires, but I do drive a Subaru and I never put snow tires on it. But 99% of my driving is in/around Colchester, Burlington, Essex, South Burlington. My son has started snowboarding so this year I am considering "snowflake" all weather tires just to get up to Bolton (although I had no problems last year with my Cooper all-seasons). I've been perfectly fine with all-seasons for the last 10+ years. But I dont ever "HAVE" to drive, and can work from home if I need to.
