yeah i'm not in NJ anymore; moved to NY in Oct for work.
some guys use all season tires if they have AWD. if they are rwd or fwd, snow tires are recommended. really depends on the conditions. one event had 10 inches of fresh powder so dedicated snow tires rocked of course.
The damage potential really depends on the driver. if you are aggressive and want to set the fast time of the day, you might clip a hay bail if you lose control. No one hit a tire wall or guard rail so far out of 3 events.
