I have a performance oriented car.
I drive on old dry rotted goodyear all season tires.
I can still take any interstate exit ramp at 2x the posted limit.
if you need any more than that for "driving enjoyment" you (let me repeat myself) drive like a dipshit.
eschewing an all season tire for the "rare occasion" that you will be forced to go out in the snow is like not wearing a condom for the rare occasion that you fuck a girl with an STD.
It only takes once to fuck your shit up.
I do not have the space to store an extra set of wheels and tires. I want decent tires on my car for autox events. That same tire must be suitable for street driving. I don't mind putting the keys away on snow days. I think summer tires fit there.

Your STD analogy, although funny, does not really apply. You pretty much know when it is going to snow around here. Every news station warns of the impending doom of 1.5 inches of coming snow well before anything falls. For your analogy to work the girl would have to have some massive worts or visible puss, and nobody would be fucking that condom or no condom.
