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.

An icy hill doesn't care how skilled a driver is. If you don't have the added traction of a winter tire, you're not getting up an icy hill. If you can't feel the difference of driving with and without winter tires, then you're probably not as skilled as you think you are.
