I'm debating whether getting proper winter tires is worth it.
I will drive, probably, 2,000 miles or less over the course of a winter, so, off-hand the hassle of getting the tires changed twice outweighs the benefit.
However, last winter I was caught in about 2 inches or so of snow once, so really, not that much, and my car sucked horribly in it, accelerating was just horrendous. My "all-season" tires are designed mainly with fuel efficiency in mind, so I think worse than even normal all season tires in winter.
They usually clean the streets quickly around here, and there are few places I would drive to that I absolutely have to get to (usually just evening activities, which I could pretty easily use public transit or other means to get to).
So, is the hassle of getting the tires changes twice worth it for the peace of mind of being able to drive comfortably in the snow a few times a year?
