If the Government is going to mandate us to spend a lot of money on tires useful for only 4 months of the year, they then are sure as hell going to offer a rebate for those of us smart enough to reduce our commute to include no driving.
I totally agree with your position, and that is one of the reasons why I don't support mandating them. I wouldn't want to have to buy them for my 4X4 either, as it does fine on all-terrains. I was merely saying they are better in winter and if you have the means to make them work it doesn't mean you are a lesser man for using them.
