Studs aren’t legal here because they chew up the roads and replacing road surfaces prematurely wastes a lot of energy and tax dollars.

If you’re touching the gas pedal AWD helps. If you are touching the brakes it doesn’t, and that’s because we already have balanced braking on all 4 wheels. All 4 wheels is the key. AWD distributes the motive power more evenly so that the chances of any wheel losing traction is reduced.
