I am a firm believer in using winter tires and as far as I am concerned if you can't afford them you shoulden't go out on anything but clean dry roads! I just had a guy loose control and almost slide into me. If I hadn't had winter tires we would both have been calling our insurance companies. Fortunately I was able to pull out of the way enough to avoid the collision. When I lived out at Snug Harbour our driveway had quite a slope, people without snow tires often had problems negotiating that slope in the winter, we could drive up it with no issues under some pretty extreme conditions. I'd vote for mandatory or at least much higher insurance costs if someone doesn't have them. My insurance company does give a discount for having them it doesn't come close to what they cost but I think about what they save me!

Same with my brother, lives in Scarboro, goes out once a week for groceries when the weather and roads are clear.

My folks were the same once they retired. They lived in the city and could pretty well walk anywhere they needed to go or else I'd drive them. The car stayed home most of the winter and they save a pile of $$$$

We have two vehicles, one get snows, the other doesn't. As such, one vehicle gets used when the roads are not cleared, the other sits in the driveway. Since I work from home, I get the one that doesn't have snows and won't go out unless the road conditions allow. Living in the city, I usually don't have to wait long for the roads to be cleared. I simply couldn't justify the huge cost, somewhere around $1500-$2k for rims and tires. So far, so good. HH

Don't hold back tell us how you really feel lol. Damn Chris I don't ever recall you trashing anyone, he must be bad🙂

I'm with you on the tires In my opinion, they should be mandatory I run studded tires in the winter on the coast and saved my backside a few times.
