i drove in that weather when the snow was coming down full force..on the way back from my parents place in brampton to mississauga and i dont use snow tires.
i always maintain..if you are not careful in various weather conditions, it does not matter if you have winter tires or summer tires...you will get into an accident.
i have never used snow tires and dont intend too.
the ppl in Quebec dont know how to drive that is why they had to make it a law to have snow tires on their cars.
