I have never put snow tires on my car, ever since I've been driving my car. I've never felt a need, and I have always harboured a suspicion as their merit, though many would praise them. They are certainly better for traction in snow, but they can actually be worse for traction on ice, so is it a gain? Yes, it probably is, we deal with way more snow and slush than we do sheet ice on the road (especially after the salt trucks have been through).

I started using winter tires after finding myself going sideways down Fallowfield Road with nice new all-seasons -- and oncoming traffic. It's an experience I'd rather have passed up on.

But I live in a semi-rural area and drive a lot in winter. At the same time, if you're traveling for SCA, you can't pick your conditions. Get the winter tires. Check ratings, too.
