Snow/Winter Tires

I don't know that they damage the car (assuming they're properly installed) but they do tear up the road. They may not be legal to use in his location for that reason. It would be a PITA to have to install and remove them every time you left your driveway.
I have Cooper M&S tires on my Land rover and they are incredible in Winter. Far better in the winter than the geolanders I had previously.
I can make a vouch for the work truck at my last job having General Grabber AT2's on it. Probably not the most 'fuel-efficient' tires out there, but they are total animals. Snow, dirt, mud, those things would go wherever you wanted them to go.
As many have reflected in this thread, snow tires are definitely worth it. I live in the mountains of southern Oregon, and have used many different brands (Bridgestone Blizzak, Firestone Winterforce, and Yokohama IceGuard), and they all perform quite well. I recently purchased a set of Winterforces off Amazon for $275 shipped, for my gf's Camry. Turned the car into quite a good car in snow....well worth the investment. One thing to always remember, typically the tires will last more than 2 winters, and your regular tires will last longer when sitting all winter. Also your insurance deductible and all the pain in the *** of any type of fender bender makes the right tires well worth the investment.
