I refuse to shell out another $1200-1500 for special winter tires when mine come winter rated. You would hardly need winter tires here if they'd sand the major roads in a timely fashion. We don't get near the amount of snow here compared to Quebec. |
Snow isn't always the problem - it's ice. And with the constantly changing temperatures here in Calgary, we get plenty of that.
I used to think that the value of snow tires were a myth until I drove a friend's vehicle that had some one and I couldn't believe the difference. I bought a set the next week - I've been a believer ever since.
