It's really difficult to persuade some people to invest in dedicated winter tires, but all the tests show that they make a significant difference. The best snow car I've ever had in nearly 50 years of driving was my Mini Countryman All4: a short car with wheels at the corners and AWD is really stable and not inclined to rotate. However, my daughter's Hyundai Elantra with Michelin X-Ice tires is better on inch-deep road slush and intersection ice than the Mini is on all-seasons. But put the Mini on its X-Ice shoes and it's awesome at tracking and stopping. My wife's Prius, my older daughter's CR-V, the Elantra, and my CX-9 all have winter tires.
I've had the newest Blizzaks on my 2018 CX-9 since mid December and I've only had the ABS kick in when I've deliberately slammed on the brakes to force it. I find it stable, planted, and generally confidence-inspiring (but they whine a bit on some surfaces).
