You are looking for a unicorn. Winter tires works best if you choose a skinnier setup, so all the down force is concentrated on a small area on each tire, to melt snow or crack ice. However that doesn't translate well to non winter driving. Also you can increase the aspect ratio of the tire to smooth out some of the ice bump. However rest of the season you want pretty much the opposite of all that.

I would suggest get 2 different setup. Look at your door jam at the air pressure chart, look for the smallest tire setup your MDX allows and go with that for winter and a proper all seasons for the rest of the season.

I'm looking for a tire that can still perform in maybe a foot or so of snow while still being avg/good for general use.

I'm hoping with the Acura SH-AWD system and the anticipated snow we are expecting that I should be good to go. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks
