ok, what kind of snow tires have you used? and how much tread?
because there is no way any somewhat decent drive on non piece of shit snow tires would not be able to tell a big difference.
yes you dont need them. you can get along fine without them. ive driven 2+ hours on snow to the mountains on racing tires with almost no tread.
but to say snow tires dont do much is just straight up stupid.
yes the driver is most of the problem. but there are situations you cannot control, being able to stop in about half the distance with snow tires compared to all seasons makes a big fucking difference in terms of safety. yeah i made it to the mountain on my race tires, but if i ever needed to stop, it took me a fucking mile. and there are so many situations you are just not in control of.
yes it can be a safety misconseption, but there is no question that it makes driving on snow safer.
"your car is only as good as the driver"
this is somewhat true, but a more capable car only makes the driver more capable. any drivers ability is increased when you give the car much better traction in all areas.
im guessing you either drove on shit snow tires, or are just a shit driver who doesnt know a thing about controlling a car, so you couldnt get to the point where you would tell a difference. maybe you're that guy who drives 30 mph on the highway as soon as there is a sign of moisture.
