Welcome to the forum!

You should definitely upgrade to snow tires. There are no comparisons, personally I think all season tires are garbage for climates with a decent amount of snow during the winter months. I live in Southern Ontario, (Toronto) so snow tires are always worth the money. Be sure to get a second set of rims for the snow tires, that way come spring you can just change your tires in the driveway with a jack! I agree with Patrick...blizzaks are great, I have them on my VW and swear by them. Regardless, any SNOW tire is better than an all season in the end.
