I can see the arguments for not getting winter tires (cost, storage, and hassle), but to me, I think it's a small price to pay to make sure I have the best tools to tackle winter roads. I mean, it's like wearing a helmet. You can technically bike or ski without a helmet and compensate with better skill, but why not add on top of your skill with more safety measures?
I guess I wouldn't really care if was like the helmet, where it only affects the individuals that choose not to use one. But I have to share the road with people who don't use winter tires, which puts my safety more at unneccessary risk.
