I don't see a lot of this "winter tire overconfidence" that people are saying here. There are overly aggressive drivers on any kind of tire, and they are all as dangerous as each other.
And winter tires aren't a crutch for the incompetent or a placebo for the timid. They simply work better on ice and cold. I can play the "never been in an accident" game the same as anyone else (on all seasons or winters) but we're a winter city in a winter country, despite the odd chinook. If there's a way that I can get an edge on the conditions, I'll take it.
