They bought snow tires, which shockingly few people do anymore;
they assume all-weather tires are good enough, no matter what, then
blame the car when it's the tires not gripping that's the problem.
I'm guilty of not buying snow tires in decades, but I'm in downtown
Chicago and things are plowed pretty quickly here so I can get away
with it. Also my winter beater is the 944 - easy to push out when it
gets stuck.
