Snow tires do not provide extra ground clearance. Besides, snow tires are just like SUV's: not necessary for 90% of the road that are ploughed; it's that 10% unploughed or otherwise difficult road (like slopes) that makes both snow tires and SUV's necessary.
Do you spend more than 10% of your time in your car? then why do you even need a car?
Do you use your back seats even 10% of the time that you drive your car? Why not get a two-seater or scooter?
It takes a degree of self-centeredness to think all other people are stupid just because you don't see them use the extra capabilities of SUV's 90% of the time. It's that 10% or even 1% of the time that makes the ownership worthwhile. If you want to pick on people for buying status symbols, there are plenty cars to pick on: BMW, MB, Audi, Lexus, and dare I say, our own Saabs.
