I have General arctic snow tires on both my car and the van. The car I bought 3 years ago had good looking tires, but the drive home with it the road was covered in blowing snow. Worst drive I ever had in a car.
I found a set of lightly used snow tires the next week on craigslist, set of 4 on steel rims, for $250. Complete change in the car. All of a sudden I was busting drifts and nothing could get this car stuck. Even used it to pull our much heavier van out when my wife slid off the driveway.
Last year I found a lightly used set of tires for the van, and a set of oem rims. I have Generals on that as well. Not as big of a difference as I had with my car, but still noticeable. One big difference I notice, is that with snow tires on, you may still spin your wheels but they'll still pull you in the direction you point your steering wheel. I drive home from work at 4 or 5 in the morning, so the roads aren't plowed yet. I now have a different car, but I kept the snow tires and found rims that will fit. Won't go any time soon without snow tires. My life and my families life is too important to sacrifice winter traction on questionable roads.
