Do I think they should be regulated though? No I do not.
Here in Calgary, My parents cars never use Winter Tires... I can REALLY feel the lack of road grip and lack of overall control of the car compared to driving my car with winter tires in Ontario.

And Nokians FTW!

If you really don't want to pay for winters, then run All-Weather tires all season, they tend to be able to grip better in snow and ice than all seasons
