Default Winter Tires

Are they really worth the hassle of changing them every winter and summer?

hmm i dunno. I guess they would be worth it. Winterforce tires are pretty cheap only $43 per tire. then you can get a summer tire for the summer and feel comfortable driving all year round.

Absolutely. The alternative is to use the same tire all year round, which means you're either (a) using summer tires that are terrible in the winter, or (b) using winter tires that are terrible in warm weather, or (c) using all-season tires that are just so-so all year round.

And that "hassle" consists of 20-30 minutes of effort two times a year - no big deal.

Yes, it really doesn't cost you more money because your the life of your tire doubles seeing as you use them only half the time. IMO it's worth and I think it should be mandatory where I live.
