Having them changed every year.

You have to decide if you want two sets of tires on rims so they're easier to change, well, then that costs more because you have to buy rims, and then you have to store them.

If you dont buy rims then you have to go to a (super busy) tire shop every year and get them changed.

The thing is, its a fairly significant thing to legislate onto people who may not have the resources.

I do it. I have two sets of tires, on rims, and I swap them back and forth every year. But I have the tools, the time and the space to store them. And I'm sure a lot of people do, but some people dont and we cant just ignore them.
You don't have to do that anymore. They've got some great winter rated all seasons.
