Your right about this, and the reason is that the fancy alloy wheels these days are too expensive to by 2 or 4 additional rims for a second set of tires, and people are too lazy and cheap to have the rubber changed twice a year. I WONT drive in the winter without agressive SNOW tires on the Golf, as Per suggests it makes a HUGE difference and is one of the key reasons that I end up passing nearly everyone else on the road when it snows.
