Stay put if it's truly bad. The roads are one thing...other drivers are as big of a concern.

After that winter tires are the bomb on snow-packed roads. I run them on my outback and it's an advantage that should be experienced. FWIW, C&D published their annual winter tire test this month. Nokian Hakkapellitta R2 is #1 but $50/tire more than #2 Michelin x-ice X13. I run Michelins here in northern WI.

IMO, if you're not on ice or snowpack almost all of the time, studs are a braking and cornering liability.

And yes, a bit thin is better than a bit wide.
