I probably won't even bother mounting snow tires. I just have a feeling that it's going to be a mild winter.

You say that but I’ve already seen plenty of Subarus in the ditch along the same stretches of road that my rwd car navigate to just fine with snow tires.

Not if I drive cautiously.

Probably, the upside to having winter tires is they help you deal with other shitty drivers. I’m a cautious and attentive driver but most people are not and having snow tires has made the difference on more than a few occasions between a near mess and a crash. Like when idiots turn out in front of you or decide to throw on the brakes instead of indicate.
