I agree 100%. I have snows for all my vehicles except my truck (an FX4 4x4 that has aggressive M+S already) and I have to admit that I drive a little more aggressively than I would if I just had all-seasons.

Ever see a 4x4 in the ditch in a snowstorm? All those people push their limits because they're in a 4x4. You can't engineer or legislate in common sense.
