As an aside, and not saying this is you Slava, but it always strikes me as odd when some people try to justify cutting corners when it comes to their vehicles.

Yeah, I definitely agree. To me, it's like trying to play ice hockey with sneakers. Sure, sneakers are better than playing on ice with bare feet but what are you really doing?
I was once sitting at a red light on 14th Street with winter tires and literally watched a dozen cars and a bus slide down the entire length of the decline smash up like a cartoon. My biggest worry was having to try to dodge them and was able to easily get away and turn off to a side street and actually go back up the hill because the pile up had blocked off access.
