They are called "winter tires" now, usually, and they are amazingly effective at low temperatures.

We also have "summer tires" that are great above about 45°F and terrible below that figure.

All seasons are a compromise.

I just got rid of those scorpions on my wife's SUV. They are terrible tires. Continental does not make that size for her, so I went Michelin. It rides great.

Nearly all the high performance cars use some Michelin tire.  They have some excellent technology (for a French company).

Others could be better for off road tires of course.

Just got new Continentals on my car a few months ago. I absolutely love them.

I might have one in my garage someday, but it'll be 4 or 5 or 8 years old and not cost a fortune

Does everyone in the north who owns a car have to have 2 sets of tires one for the summer and one for the winter?

I bought my 2014 in 2016 and I bought the 2015 in 2018. They are already hand-me-downs.

Nope. Fearless is pretty rural so I can see the need. I never did need them.

They last twice as long, since they are only being used for half of the year. So it all evens out.

no, but they should if they drive on snow and ice
most don't
they try to get by on all-season tires

it's fine if they leave the car or SUV or truck in the garage when there's a blizzard, but you know how that goes
I used to do much more hunting, ice fishing, trapping, snowmobiling, off-road driving, not much anymore.  I don't need the REAL aggressive off-road tires, but something better than all-season

what was terrible about them?  I'm looking for something inexpensive (as usual) that does well on snow and ice.  They get the snowflake rating from Tire Rack.

not too concerned with ride or noise level
