If it were me I would go with a good set of non-studded winter tires. And
if I didn't expect to encounter a lot of winter weather, just wanted to be
prepared in case there was a snowstorm, then I'd go with all season tires
and some good chains. Studded tires are noisy, don't handle as well as
regular tires, and can only be used during certain months in most states.
