Born and raised in New England, never owned a set of snow tires. Mostly because I never wanted to deal with the hassle. You have to store snow tires all summer, then you have to swap tires every season. Not saying they are not worth it, but not something I ever wanted to deal with. That being said, not all tires are created equal and a good set of AT tires usually are not cheap, but usually well worth it.

I can understand boring the tires can be a hassle, especially if you live in an apartment where having a place to store tires may be problematic, but swapping the tires honestly can't be seen as a hassle.

You should be rotating your tires periodically anyway so it's not much different to swap to snow tires and back to summer tires as it is to rotate your tires periodically.
