I bought a set of X-ice tires from tirerack mounted on steelies and they're great. I did the same with my last car. I can swap my tires out in 20 minutes and I don't have to talk to anyone or risk someone jacking the car up by the floor pans. Any quality snow tire is going to be better than an all season. And if you go with a separate set on steel rims, you don't need to worry about tearing up your aluminum rims on tire changing machines and winter salt. They come pre-mounted and ready to bolt on when ordered as a package.
This car feels really solid in the snow due to its low and wide stance. I feel more in control with this car than my wife's 4x4 Grand Cherokee which also has X-ice winter time tires.
