Not that I'm saying your wrong, because I'm sure winter tires are great.. I just get all seasons and never had an issue.
A big part of it is learning how to drive in crappy weather. Like my towns done a shit job at snow removal, it's risky just pulling out of my driveway due to high snow banks. The roads weren't cleared well so it's just a sheet of ice. They never even bothered to treat (salt/sand) my road. Figuring out how to keep control when slipping is essential, and should be taught better for beginners (and possibly to newbies of the state).

No, because winter tires usually save your ass when somebody with all-seasons blow a stop sign because they can't stop or they start sliding, my winter tires on my forester saved me at least 3 times cause someone else was outta control and I could stop on time.

Hence the reason I said you really need to learn HOW to drive in the conditions we experience here. I've never blown a stop sign because I couldn't stop, because I know how to drive in shitty conditions.
