These types of "Traction Laws" are super common where I live in Colorado, and include coverage for Interstate highways (I-70 through Vail Pass). The traction laws in most areas of Colorado state you must chain your tires unless you have AWD & Severe Snow Service rated all-season tires or you have snow tires (studless or studded are allowed). I drive an FWD daily today with studless snow tires (Blizzaks), but would prefer an AWD vehicle with studless snow tires. GP: You can say all you want about what /I/ "need", but you don't know my needs or my level of expertise. I hold a competition racing license from two sanctioning bodies, have driven in adverse conditions with all three common drive-train types (AWD, FWD, RWD), and live in a mountainous area outside of the city where inclement weather is common that create adverse road conditions. I think I am VERY well qualified to state exactly what I "need", and have the wallet to buy when companies are willing to make it.
