Snow tires aren't good just for snow....

they are good if you live in an area that regularly sees cold temps. Due to the softer rubber compounds (the reason they wear so much faster if worn year round)that snow tires are made of, they do not harden up like summer and even all season tires when the temps are under freezing on a consistant basis. The harder the tires, the less traction on the road especially with ice.
I got snows when I moved to CT and a few folks around here said it wasn't neccessary. I had an extra set of wheels, so I got them anyway. And I am glad. For the times that I needed them, I'm very glad I had them. Sure most of the time the roads have been cleared, but I have no worries as long as I have ground clearance. And nobody needs them until that first time....
I get longer life out of my more expensive summer tires and I never have to second guess myself as I am driving in conditions that do dictate the need.
