Of course the alternative is to continue with my M+S all seasons (Goodyear Assurance Tripletread) and just throw in a set of chains for when things go really bad. Really, this is what majority of people driving the overpasses so.

I had a set of Michelin x-ice tires on a Genesis Coupe, and ended up using them almost a complete summer in Massachusetts. They didn't get eaten up. I couldn't rotate them, but I ended up putting about 30k miles on those tires. I don't particularly drive easy, either.
I replaced them with blizzack tires, and i prefer the x-ice. Much, much quieter. Performance in snow was about the same.
