Why? I have all season tires and they work fine enough when it does snow but I also don’t drive much.

When I looked into getting winter tires, I saw they generally last 60,000 miles or 6 years whatever comes first and since I only drive like 5,000 miles a year, that means I’d have to replace 2 sets of tires every 6 years instead of 1.

If I drove 20,000 miles a year though I’d definitely get them.



It's amazing how large the mindset difference is between the US and European countries: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35937993.

You are talking about whether these tyres make sense. In many countries in Europe, this is not a question. It is mandated. I agree with your reasoning from an economic perspective, of course.
