We get them on our SUV because my wife works out in Didsbury. I've driven it several times this winter and have honestly not noticed a big difference. I still don't buy the winter tire hype -- driving skill and safety matters infinitely more. This guy's daughter has winter tires on half the year and has still slipped and slid and smashed all over the place.

So you have been lucky. It really doesn't matter how good a driver you are, if some idiot cuts you off, or something happens in front of you, winter tires WILL stop you quicker. Their is no debate to be had. So you can continue to be fortunate until you are not.
