I will pile on too.

I probably would not want winter tires as well if I had the magical all-seasons you have that don't wear out while you drive them in the winter.

In reality, the only 'extra' cost of winter tires is the price of a second set of rims (~$200?), and even that should be less as you could probably re-sell them if you no longer need them.

And all these people who don't need them in Calgary... where were you last year?
