Sounds like a first aid/Macgyver tool kit to me.

Now, probably never needing snow tires in Texas so it doesn't matter, there is a big difference in the snow tires your parents used and the modern studless tires available now. If you ever have a chance to drive the same vehicle back to back on ice/packed snow with snow tires and with all seasons or summer tires. Then get back to us. I definitely agree that old school snow tires aren't any better than all seasons except for more aggressive/deep blocky tread.
Oh yes, duct tape is the cornerstone of my first aid and emergency repair kit, not for you? : 34 Different Ways to Use Duct Tape for Survival & Emergencies | Wake Up World

I am getting back to you. Who's us? I mentioned my parents, I didn't say it was years ago.

I don't think it matters much what tires you have on for snow and ice if you don't know how to drive in those conditions and if you know how to drive in those conditions it doesn't matter matter what tires you have on.
