Hello, 
  
 My family and I are thinking about taking a trip to see my mother in Duluth, Minnesota  for Christmas. I live in South/Ga. so I of course I don't have snowtires on my Edge. I've driven in snow a little but I'm sure Minnesota is going to be alot worse than what I have drivin in. 
  
 Sooo.. How much do snowtires really help? Do you think that I would be ok as long as the roads have been cleared? Are the highways usually in good shape? 
  
  
Thanks ahead for any info you may give.
