Where’s that - Northern Canada? Not in the Boston area. I can count on 1 hand the number of days where dedicated snow tires were needed here in Southern NH and Northern MA.
I have read it and it’s not stubborn pride. It’s experience - a lot of experience. Even tire shops around here don’t put a lot of snow/winter tires on fwd or awd vehicles. If they were needed then every snow storm we’d see a lot more accidents than we do now. 99% of those accidents are people driving too fast and/or not driving for the conditions of the road. The vast majority of people with fwd vehicles drive with all-season tires in this area. I don’t see the vast majority of people getting in accidents. What I do see is the vast majority not having any problems driving in winter conditions what-so-ever. Not even close.
