Aren't studded tires illegal on most public roads anyway...tears the roads up.

They're illegal in a lot of places but I believe they're allowed in some states that don't do much for ice/snow removal.
Another option is Blizzaks. Those damn tires are unreal. They actually grip ice. I drove on 'em a couple of winters ago and was absolutely stunned at how much extra grip I had. Unfortunately, if you drive 'em on dry pavement you wear that grippy layer away really fast and then they're just regular tires. so unless you have a dedicated snow-busting car or you live somewhere like Alaska, they really don't make a whole lot of sense unfortunately.
I would recommend snow tires. All season tires aren't all that good anywhere. You can get deals from most of the big tire stores where you get a cheapassed set of steel wheels wrapped in winter rubber. Throw 'em on in the winter, then swap 'em for the good wheels in the summer.
