I really don't understand the hesitancy to get winter tires in 2018. Winter tires make a massive difference to your drive at temperatures under 7 Celsius, not just in snow and ice.
If you're going to have your car for more than four years, you're going to have to replace your stock tires anyways at some point. Why not invest in winter tires and extend the life of your "all-season" set? It'll be a near wash at the end of the tire life of both sets anyway, certainly when you factor in the insurance discount for riding on winter tires.
Not switching over tires is really a case of "penny-wise, pound-foolish." I especially don't understand the skittish drivers who refuse to switch over. If you're nervous driving on the 400-series highways at speed anyways, why would you drive in snowy conditions on the wrong tires (not saying that's the OP, but just adding a little rant)?
