I'm pretty good at driving in the winter with regular tires but I figure that snow tires are cheap insurance, more so with winding hilly roads that we have around here.
I am also responsible for plowing out the long driveway at work and keeping the heat on at work and it's on a road that can take a day or more to get cleared so I often get out there with the last half mile being unplowed.
The better snow tires are silica rubber, a LRR compound that has amazing grip, I have my near wore out snow tires on my car right now because my summer tires are out of balance and I haven't noticed my mileage drop.
