I don't drive a ton of miles 10-11k per year.

I spent my tire budget on a bit of a bidding war when I bought my car at auction so I was stuck with the studdless snow tires that came with.

After avoiding 3-4 accidents do to the snow tires during summer/fall/spring I decided to run winter tires year 'round and 74,000 miles later I'm very happy with that decision.

Cheaper than having two sets off tires to just replace more often. So far the timing had just lucked out that I've had full winter tread through the winters and wore them out through the warmer seasons where there was plenty of non snow tread just not good for snow.
