I don't know about you but I drive my BMW in the snow very few days a season. In dry conditions UHPAS are FAR superior to snow tires... plus they are less expensive and have longer wear. Why would I bias my tire choice for <5% of how I use my car? That would be foolish.
Lol at this.... winter tires are designed for cold conditions (temperature dependent) dry or with snow, if it is cold, winter tires are the correct choice. I do not think I have ever seen tires listed for sale as “snow tires”. If I use your thought process I should cancel my car insurance because I only need it for .001% of the time I am driving... do us all a favor, just stay off the roads when it is snowing or slushy, our insurance rates will appreciate you for doing so.
