Original post by mutex Yeah, winter tires sound like a good idea, but on the other hand snow/ice events like these are relatively rare so buying a set of these tires isn't easily justified. I don't recall any snow/ice at all last year, for example. The cheaper alternative is to just work from home :)

If you avoid one accident because of the snow tires, they've more than paid for themselves; even calling a tow-truck to pull you out of the ditch is expensive.

Here in Minnesota, we have multiple storms a year that each cause hundreds of accidents; I think the extra traction is more than worth the cost.

Most people can't work from home.
