Snow does not come every year to every location. Our highways are nothing like the path in the picture you posted.

didn't you mean "get rid of other cars on the road"? When its snowing, you are going to go slow regardless of tires. Question for Quebeckers: true or not? (mandatory winter tire use in Quebec)

Stop with the damn snow tires! if my 04 Pontiac grand am can handle a combined 10 winters in places like Oswego New York, Denver Colorado and Burlington Vermont. With decent all seasons then any body can, slow down give people distance and relax it will all be ok.
