Larry, High performance tires aren't just for auto crosses or DE events. That's like saying you don't need to eat healthy or watch your weight because you aren't a pro athlete. High performance tires are high performance in everyday life. They give you better traction in case you need to make evasive maneuvers, they give you shorter stopping distances, and they have better road holding abilities. I am a big believer in buying the best you can - esp with tires. M+S (mud and snow) tires and the "all-season" tires are, in my opinion, poor choices for any car. Do you think it's possible to make a tire that excels in both mud and snow? Or that is a good tire in the dry / wet / snow, etc.? Those tires excel at nothing and are average at everything. You need the best performance you can get in every situation - which is a dedicated set of tires for summer and a dedicated set for winter. Even if you have a 4-wheel drive truck or SUV, or an AWD car. You may be able to "go" well with those vehicles, but turning and stopping all depend on grip, which comes from your tires (the stock tires that came with H2 Hummers from the factory are notoriously horrible in the snow but are great offroad). It's no accident that F1 cars have different tires for wet & dry tracks. All of this may sound silly, but the extra ability to maneuver could keep you out of an accident or from hitting something that falls off a truck or that is in the road. And the extra 3-5 feet of stopping power may keep you from hitting a child or the car in front of you. You can have the best handling car with the most up to date suspension and the biggest brakes made, but the only thing that connects all that to the ground is your tires.
