Ok so I made an error when I said snow instead of winter tires.

2) I am sure all of us here know how to drive well enough that we would have been fine with all seasons too. The 10%-30% that WINTER tires are scientifically PROVEN to give you over all-seasons in ice and/or snow can be the 10% that save your life and/or your car. We only need to draw on that 10% ONCE in our lives of driving for it to have made more sense economically to have invested in winter tires. ONCE.
I wonder if a family memeber dies on icy roads you will wonder what could have been if you had spent an extra $50 to mount WINTER tires? I know what my answer is: I don't want to ever have to ask that question...

I'm in my mid 40's and have been driving for over 25 years. No tickets and no accidents on my driving record. If the roads are really bad I don't drive - moreso due to all the idiots on the road who fail to take the road conditions into account (not refering to you or anyone here btw).
