A set of good winter tires is much less that the cost of the deductible you would pay if/when you spin out and wind up in the ditch. I went many years without winter tires, consider myself a very good driver, but have spent many white-knuckle hours driving in lousy weather.
Winter tires provide unbelievable grip in poor weather. My first set was Nokian Hakka Q's, my current set is Semperit Sport-grips, my next set will probably be Nokians again.
I drove nearly 2,000 miles this holiday weekend, including a couple hundred miles on icy/snow dusted Ohio interstates Wednesday night. I drove at 55mph on the worst of the slippery stuff with nary a quiver. Much better than driving 2 or 3 times as long with white-knuckles at 15 to 20 mph.
