This is assuming you have enough snow to justify the tires in the first place, and you are going to drive the car long enough to wear out two sets of tires. The snow tires are "free" in the sense that every mile put on them saves a mile on your other set, although I assume they wear out faster. The real cost is the wheels, and the peace of mind is worth it. Besides, they are worth something when you sell the car. I'm in Montana, and the original tires do not work well on ice and snow.
