I used to think that way as well when I lived up in Northern Ontario about being an adept driver, but when I moved to Southern Ontario I realized that most drivers here don't know how to drive to the conditions properly and I quickly switched to using winter's to help me avoid the other people on the roads and highways.
For the Vancouverites who are interested in snow's if they do go to the mountains during the winter or for the occasional blast of snow, you could try the Nokian WR's. They meet winter tire specification but yet are rated to drive year long and come with a 100,000km warranty. Mine will be installed next thursday so I will see if they perform as well as they have been rated and reviewed for dry and wet pavement, and then eventually for actual winter conditions. I will give a report on them for each of the conditions when I meet them.
