I daily drive my 51 Plymouth, year round. Now I don't live in the rust belt, but we do get snow on occasion. I don't generally get on the roads here, in anything, if they have snow on them. Too many can't drive as it is throw in snow and some doofus is gonna T bone someone, it won't be me.

I don't run snow tires, never have even when I lived on the shores of Lake Michigan.
