Hey guys I live in jersey and I'm expecting a rough winter. I'm wondering should I get winter tires for my 2010 m35x or are there any good all season tires that cover heavy snow n ice? What do you guys suggest I'm new to the m35x and I didn't like the RS-A last year in ice.

You'll be fine with Continental ExtremeContact DWS tires or something similar. I live in Upstate, NY and get more snow than you.

I had Pirelli P7s installed last fall. Occasional driving in snow was no problem and even fun. On heavy snow days I telecommute. Of course there is nothing like snows if you want the best traction. If you absolutely have to go out no matter the weather then snows may be the answer. If you can be somewhat selective on the days you drive and/or are willing to accept less than the best traction (not bad just less than snows but in my opinion acceptable) then all seasons may be to your liking. There are may discussions on tires here so you will find some additional opinions.
I have dedicated snows on wheels for my wife's van as I don't want to get that "call".

Remember that 4WD helps to get you going. It doesn't help you stop.
