They have a SNOW setting! Yes you will need snow tires. Don't have to worry about snow here in Guam.

Everytime I see questions like these I laugh. Is it good in snow....of course its good! Since when has AWD not been good in the snow? There's a snow setting for a reason on the ACD. Just remember to put on winter tires. Stock advans are teh suck in snow and so are other summer performance tires. (common sense)

Edit: No ACD on 03-04 Evo's

My Evo is even good in the snow with just all-season tires.
