It's not my day for agreeing with you, bud. :P
Mandatory winter tires are one of the worst things I've ever heard about. I'm just waiting for the flurry (pun intended) of lawsuits that will come when people who get into loss-of-control accidents have their "government-mandated" snow tires on.
It's a cash grab for the tire retailers / wholesalers, the tire manufacturers and the government (when they fine you for not having snow tires).
Anyone can drive in any climate with M+S-rated all-season rubber if they drive with a brain in their head. It's nice to have seasonal rubber, but a lot of folks can't afford two sets of tires and rims for each vehicle.
Once again, governments replace common sense and the removal of drivers who otherwise just generate extra revenue by creating laws that cause us all un-necessary expense.
