Good advice. Here in WI I've run dedicated snow and ice tires for many years on all of our cars. Blizzaks on my 07 Subaru Outback and Altimax Arctics on my Honda Accord and Dodge Grand Caravan. Stopping and turning is greatly enhanced.

I live at very high elevations when we can get snow at any time during the year. I use winter tires from October-May and 3 peak rated all weather tires for the rest of the time. This way, if we have an early snow in September, I'm not sliding all over the place until I get my winter tires put on. All weather tires are okay in snow, but you have to still drive much more careful with them than with snow tires. You won't get stuck or slide all over the place with 3 peak rated all weather tires and AWD, but you also won't feel as comfortable driving on them in heavy snow as you would with proper snow tires.
You're still confused about all weather tires. They typically have the three peak symbol. The compound is different and made to run in very cold weather.
Sorry winter tires are made to run in really cold temps All weather are made to run in cold or warm temps and be the compromise from all season and winter. Im pretty sure I said that in the video though
Definitely not a waste if you live somewhere that needs them. In middle of no where in northeast pa they have definitely me a couple of times. Driven over 50k miles with studded snows on and never had anyone say anything about them.

Is crazy how much difference good tires make

That black ice is ruthless!
Avoid it like the plague (the black one)

Studded tire are a waste of money, most underground or multilevel parking prohibit them even in winter.
There is a time and place for them for sure
How will they even know you have studded tires? They check ever car that drives in?
@@FatSlav you can see it from pretty far. You can hear them from even farther

Any experienced Canadian driver knows that there is no such thing as All Season tires...they are "3 Season tires"...at best.
Yes for sure
