I highly recommend spending an extra $1500 to get a set of dedicated winter tires and rims. It is a small investment to pay to help safeguard the lives of your passengers and let's not forget the amount of money you put into the car itself. Hitting a patch of ice and ramming it into a pole or guard rail will make you feel silly for not having spent the money. You will spend less time and effort concentrating on keeping the car on the road and thus can dedicate more time and effort to the other driving factors that allow for safety. Your stopping distance will also decrease which could mean the difference between being in a ditch or not, or rear ending someone.
