Not that I drive my camaro in the winter, but my other cars get winter tires. I don't use a dedicated set of wheels. I have the tires swapped out on the stock wheels. I would save money and convince if I bought extra winter wheels. It cost me $60 to get tires swapped out each season. There are traction laws here during storms, One must have 4/32 minimum tread depth. This last winter we really didn't get that much snow. as you know snow can vary greatly season to season just like the north east. One difference here is usually the snow melts pretty quickly here, in a day to a few days. Even the winter sun is pretty warm at the altitudes here. The thin air just doesn't filter the up rays as much. I personally wouldn't go a winter without winter tires. Even if we only got one good snow. I want the best opportunity to avoid being in any kind of accident, my fault or not. The peace of mind of better stopping and steering, that's what winter tires are about. Honestly except for extra wheels, or mounting costs. Buying winter tires doesn't cost you more money. You're spreading wear out between two sets of tires.
