I agree, I think it should be required here. Half of the battle with driving this time of year is defending yourself from bad drivers. I think Quebec also requires snows on all 4 wheels. I know many use only 2 snows but this can create problems with control.
And if all used snows, another reason to avoid salting the roads to death, which may be the aspect of winter I hate most.
I understand, I used all-seasons for most of my life and got by mostly ok, only started using snow tires past 5-10 years. It is a significant improvement, mainly in those handful of times when conditions are severe. Snow tire technology has really improved, mainly the ability of grip under cold temps. Once I experienced the difference, especially in severe conditions, I was hooked.
I don't know why everybody is in a huff , meaning what I see in the media . It was a snow storm , it's gonna create some chaos . I left downtown work on the 198 at 2:15 and was home to the eden angola exit by 3 . Had I left 30 mins later I'm sure it would be a different story . From the lakawanna tolls until hamburg exit it was a total white out . I followed a semi at 20mph .
