Yes, they do.  Unfortunately, with all the Chinooks in Calgary you can run into a lot of dry pavement during the winter which can result in you wearing out your winter tires a lot faster than intended.  So, unless you have a lift and hoist in your garage to swap out your tires for weather changes then winter tires can be a costly decision.  But I guess if you can afford a lift and hoist in your garage then you can afford to burn through a set of winter tires every couple of years.
