" Dedicated winter studded tires on steel wheels are a necessity up here. " No, they aren't !! I live in a rural area and used to commute 30 miles a day over very rural roads -haven't needed nor used snow tires since 1967 !
It's a meme invented by those who must have a decoration to certify their maineness and tire companies.
That said, if it makes you feel better there is no harm except to the wallet - No it isn't the same for studded tires - they should be illegal!
Bring on the wrath !

Exactly. I live in the mountains and they're not necessary here. Plus they trash the road when there's no ice/snow.
They might help if you don't know how to drive the conditions though it's a weird recommendation for a cold snap. The roads are cleared of snow and ice, why would you need studded tires now?
