I agree that snow tires will work better when you're driving in the snow but what about when you're not? Living down here on southern Ont., most of the time I'm driving on dry pavement. How many seasons would I get out of snow tires like that? I have no problems with all seasons down here. I just don't go out there when it gets bad. Saving eight hundred bucks or more will cover the three or four 'sick days' I need over the winter.
But, I still agree with you guys that need them. If I needed them then I would have them too. I just don't like the idea of the gov't telling me what I should be doing.
