Even if it's top of the l ine snow tires, all seasons are better in the rain on the avg. Snow tires are designed for SNOW which is more solid and slick, not the rain. Rain is more liquid so it will not wick as well with snow tires as with all season.
Well if you only have them on 3 months out of hte year then yeah they last, but they still wear out fast. Keep them on most of the year and see what happens.
My original point was that they should NOT be mandated because alot of people(like students) can not afford to purchase $500 to over 1K tires just to have on temporarily.
It should remain an OPTION
their winter tires why would you keep them on most of the year

They should be mandated for safety purposes, even in bc they are mandated if you drive on the highway in winter.
if you cant afford 500 for a set of tires every 4 yeasr then you shouldnt be driving
international students with rich parents dont count
