Problem is, people with AWD are so biased that their car is above all others and don't need Winter tyres because it has AWD. They always forget, that traction doesn't always rely on which wheels are powered but on those with the correct tyres.

This video shows how "well" 4WD works with the wrong tyres on simple "mud" which has similar traction possibilities, as ice and snow...:

+ YouTube Video

Fit the wrong wheels and you'll not even be able to take off. At the same time, you won't be able to stop, as the wheels, hardend up due to the harsh cold conditions...
