Snow tires make a massive difference, really not even debatable.
Your only example is in a tin can rwd dakato?
It makes a big difference in fwd vehicle's and a massive difference in awd

100% agree. Snow tires on AWD are awesome hands-down. On FWD or RWD the biggest gain is in braking. Hands down not a contest. I drive on dry frozen roads and in snow drifts of MI, OH, PA all the time and regardless have never been stuck. I run separate seasonal tires on my daily driver regardless of what it is. Again, mainly for Braking Capability where the gains are big.

Please, do not talk to me like I know nothing about tires. Additionally, it is pretty poor taste brand bashing with such terms as "tin can", that may just be my feeling, however. As a 16 year old buying his first car an AMG wasn't in the budget. So excuse me.
Winter tires do make a difference. Yes. But why would I spend the cash on them if my All-seasons have never left me stranded? I put my VWs in sport mode, the LSD locks, and off I go with my Michelin PS4s.

Awfully sensative bud.... I can assume the Dakota is a heavy tank then ?
I was just implying that it is a light vehicle and a 2wd pickup at that.... not really a fair shake to make a judgment on weather a snow tire is adequate or not.
And Michelin PS4 are good in the snow said no one ever.
Put snow tires on all 4 corners of the VW and it would be a night and day difference.

Re: The Post a Picture of Your Ride as it Sits Thread
It's pretty simple here, all-seasons try to be all things to all people, winter tires do this....perform when temps are below 45 degrees and go through snow, period! The below 45 degree thing is even more important because for alot of us that's "prime time" and where all-seasons are getting harder a d harder and making contact with a very hard ground, our winter tires are staying pliable

KA nailed it with the "Temp"...most tires get harder than Chinese algebra under 40 degrees

My issue would be how do winter tires hold up to an 85+ degree warm spell during the winter in the mid-states? Do they wear more in hot weather?

In my years in Alaska I have tried Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires twice
Once on a 2002 Tundra and once on a 2004 Audi TT
In both cases they were good snow tires but nowhere near as good on ice as studded tires but that is expected, although they were better than “all weather tires” by a wide margin
Also in both cases as they came near the end of their useful winter life it was spring and I left them on into the summer
As you know it can get 85-90 up here in the summer and in both cases they just kind of finished wearing out maybe a bit faster due to the softer compound but it’s not like huge chunks were flinging off going down the road
I haven’t tried any more simply because studded tires are vastly superior on ice
