For those who live far enough north....

Reasons why I refuse to put winter tires on my car:
•It’s my car, my choice, my freedom. It doesn't matter if I'm endangering others.
•The effectiveness of winter tires is not proven, except by studies carried out by the biased manufacturers.
•My facebook friend said he had an accident after putting on his winter tires. They clearly don't work.
•I have another friend who has never used them and never been in an accident. You clearly don't need them.
•Many are already on their 3rd set of tires, which proves their ineffectiveness.
•We don't know what they're made of.
•The tire giants scare us with winter just to enrich themselves
•Tire manufacturer's profits go up every winter!
•The media is complicit with Project Fear. Weather Reports??
•I've heard the tire giants also invented snow and spread it at night when you sleep.
•If I have tires, the government can track me in the snow.
•Educate yourself, open your eyes, stop being sheeple.
SAY NO to winter tires!

Only X percent of people die from snow-related crashes, yet these sheeple live in fear.

It’s pretty obvious that these winter tyres are being chipped by a rubber baron with links to a shady government hub

They are using this "snow" propaganda to make us more dependent on handouts. Soon we will all be shiftless moochers without the capacity to do anything for ourselves and we will be ripe for the culling when Gates, Fauci and Sorros rollout their massive depopulation purge.

Only X percent of people die from cop-related shootings but these sheeple live in fear.

Just put chains on your tires πŸ˜‰

Job security for the road crews when they have to repair everything come spring.
I'm old enough and born far enough north to remember when people used chains.
I haven't seen it done in awhile though πŸ€”

You got your vaccine.
Worry about yourself. Mind your own business.
You're still spreading the virus just like us.

And yet, I haven't yet receive notice from my employer that I'll be fired unless I put winter tires on my car.

And thankfully, the number of teen myocarditis cases linked to winter tires has been surprisingly low this year.

Essentially, you're arguing for no mandate. I don't know what they do in Minnesota, but there are no winter tire mandates in New York that I'm aware of.

"You got your vaccine."
Yep, i got my winter tiers.
"Worry about yourself."
I worry about myself because some moron doesn't have winter tires and has a bigger change of plowing into me or into a pedestrian.

"Mind your own business. "
That moron plowing into me or anyone for that matter is my business. Because of course, that moron insists on driving as well. He could just stay at home or take the bus if he considers "his car, his choice" and nobody would force him to get winter tires. But no, he is out in public endangering lives.
"You're still spreading the virus just like us."
Roads are slippery with winter tires on as well. It still is a benefit to have them. And in countries where politicians don't pander to selfish asholes in the name of freedom, it's a requirement. The fine for not having winter tires is quite noticeable

Have there been almost 800,000 deaths from snow-related accidents in less than 2 years?

there should be a mandate on winter tires. Whenever the temperature is lower than a certain value for a few days in a row, you should be required to change tires. And then be fined enough to hurt if you refuse.
