Ok this I'll agree with. I've always known that tires usually should only last a max of about 5 years. And yes, they are going to cost a bit more than running just All Seasons.

I guess I just put value in giving myself the best possible control in bad winter conditions, and I don't mind paying for that. It doesn't mean I'm over confident and driving like a maniac in winter. I still practice defensive driving and using caution. You may say we get less snowfall than Montreal, but we do still get enough to warrant winter tires IMO.

So in the end, all I'm saying is, if you can afford it, then winter tires are definitely a very good investment. It is something I personally make sure I budget for.
