  1.  @Daniel-dj7fh  Not really - there is a huge difference between little snow and lots of snow - for example, with little snow - say like just an inch or so thinner tires of a car will easily cut through while truck will float. Reverse is true with more snow. This is why in some conditions cars can actually outperform trucks in snow (!)

  2. No they are not mandatory - you only need M+S tires i.e. all season tires to drive in BC. What is illegal is use of summer tires.

  3. We drive like that in Alberta (Canada) all the time. In a truck with regular AT tires.

  4. Same with regular AT tires on my truck, feels like you can drive even with worst conditions around.

  6.  @Daniel-dj7fh  No its not, winter tires are not much better than all terrain on my Taco in ice - both are terrible. You need studs.

  7.  @Daniel-dj7fh  In Canada (Alberta) we do get somewhat moderate amounts of snow but lots of ice & winter lasts 6 months. Actually most people have all season tires. Most trucks including mine have AT tires not winter tires. My parents have Porsche Cayenne and it has all seasons - heck we were shocked when it actually started in -30C. Usually Porsche is known for always breaking down compared to Toyota - but Porsche is 10x as much fun to drive vs. Toyota - it breaks down like 100x more.

  8. As a Canadian watching this in -20F weather outside I can say that ... who cares about snow performance? What really matters is ICE performance. As long as snow does not reach the front bumper and surpasses it by much there is no reason to worry about tires. ICE is what makes driving hard and here there is little difference between tires - what now matters is whatever you have studs or not. Or later on whatever you have chains or not.
