Default huge diff between those two
only get rsi's for regular use on snow/ice. they are not so good on the highway and have low speed rating. dunlop's will be much better in the dry.

For your situation, sounds like the 3Ds would be the way to go.

Default I have the RSI's on the 95 S6 and the 3ds on my S4, the RSI's are much better in the snow and.....
slush and the 3ds are better in the wet and dry so for you I would say the 3ds would be better, much more stable compared to the gummy bear ride of the RSI's on dry or wet pavement.

do you want the added security when driving your car in the snow or not.

Default screw it then. take your dd to the mtns when necessary
you can drive around on summer/all-season's in boulder for the better part of the winter anyway.
