I live in Vermont and when I was in my teens/20s I drove on all seasons.. and it was terrifying. I slid many many times and almost went off the road many times.
Now I’m 35 w two kids and I don’t want to risk them.. or my new Subaru. I would rather be extra protected and not necessarily need them than not be prepared and need them.
As I live 45-50 min drive from work (in good weather..) and work in healthcare- I need a sturdy set of studded winter tires. You can def get by w all seasons.. but you may or may not end up in a ditch here.
