I'm thankful for this thread. I was 50/50 last week on if I could get them or not, but with all of the good information, I'm willing to spend the money to get where I need to go. Perhaps if I didn't have to travel far for work, but my office is pretty far from my home. For that reason alone, I think I will benefit from them.
Thanks for the info, all.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've never had them, last winter was a
disaster zone and I'm not going through that again. I'm not sure where some of you spent last winter, but I think there were a few more than 10 days of bad driving conditions. Christ, there were more than 10 days of -30 to -40 degree weather.

As mentioned earlier, they increase the life span of your tires to the point that they don't technically cost much at all.
