Real snow tires are the best. My first few years driving I drove a Bronco II with mud tires and I could see the blade of the reaper an inch from my throat whenever I drove. Once I threw some snow tires on that thing I never worried about driving in the winter again.
Ah, fair enough. One of my later cars had snow tires, but it didn't stop us from getting t-boned on a side street. Lady just ran the stop sign. So yeah...
Well yeah, that's just good practice when it's safe to do so. These days I drive a subcompact, so things like not getting your ass stuck at a stop sign are important skills to have. During conditions like that, usually your problem isn't not being able to stop, it's being able to stop way too well and the next time your car stops it's probably going to stay stopped for the foreseeable future.
The day we got smacked wasn't in the middle of a snowstorm though.

Yeah all seasons suck really bad. I went with the four season tires that are okay in the winter and decent the rest of the year, and they were pretty decent for the time, the one I had to replace them I just went with winter tires because they were cheaper and then I'll just get summer tires, and the one nice thing about that is then you're splitting the wear up among two sets of tires.
