You just don't stop any way near as well as with warm weather.

BE Warned !!!
I can understand that, tires are the last thing you want to take risks with.

Ultimately, the driver is the most important part of the car. You can have an idiot with snow tires be dangerous on the roads as well. A good driver takes all surroundings and environment into account when getting into an automobile and adapts to get from point A to point B safely without issue.
