The very best reviewed snow tire is the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 but it is expensive.
The very best budget snow tire is the General Altimax Arctic and is just as good but noisier and rides a little rougher.
Both Winter and Snow tires have a more aggressive tread pattern and are made of a softer rubber that grips better in cold weather. I believe that snow tires have a still more aggressive tread pattern than winter tires.
Snow tires!
Bridgestone Dueler tires are made for tough road conditions. They could be used as winter tires so heavy snow or rain would be conditions they would perform well in.
They have a very good eyesight and they migrate in winter.
I don't believe anybody is required to use snow tires. In fact, some states recommend that you don't use snow tires unless the conditions are bad due to the fact that they can damage/wear the roadways.
Winter tires with studs are the best for driving in snow.
Yes, Aquatread tires do well on ice and snow.
Winter tires are for use predominately in the snow and All-season tires are exactly that meant to be used all year around. You will not get as good a traction on snow with the All-season tires as you would with the winter ones but the decision comes down to what part of the country you are in and how much snow you get.
If you can have good winter tires fitted to them, there's nothing bad with having 20" tires in snow.
AS good as it's tires. DSC, ABS, TC, are all useless if you don't have a good set of SNOW/Winter TIRES!
Since your tires are all season, they should be good. If you are worried they won't be, then it would be a good idea to buy some snow chains that can be put on your wheels without removing your tires.

BFG offers many types of tires for the snow. 4x4 pick up trucks would be a good car during the winter snow. They have many tires for 4x4 pick up trucks.
Snow tires!
They are entry level tires and rank pretty low in the mix of things. They are average snow tires but any winter tire is better than not having anything at all.
There are winter tires that are very good to have if you live in an area with a lot of snow and ice. Winter tires provide more traction and are more flexible than all-season tires, so they give you more control on the road and are more durable in the cold.
"Snow tires with chains are much safer than regular winter tires if you live in an area with heavy winter snowfall. Snow tires with chains will help you to travel along roads that have not yet been plowed, where regular tires would probably get buried."
