People with tires that can handle the snow no problem are tired of being stuck behind people who are barely getting by because they decided winter tires aren't worth the bother just because they only need it a few weeks a year.. They'll just tough it out and drive overly cautious being part of the problem. Yeah, they've been saying that for the past 5 years in a row.

It's no different than when the weather is great, and you have some guy in front who's not very capable at driving, so to compensate, they drive overly cautious and go 40km/h cause they are scared to lose control. It's annoying and backing up traffic if everyone else is capable of safely going 50-60.

It almost seems like some people have never driven on good snow tires before and have no idea the kind of control they're missing out on when snow is out.

Exactly.

Tires are what keep you and your car safely on the road and out of the ditch. If you can't wrap that around your head because you're too cheap to spend the $1000 then you shouldn't own a car or be on the road.
