Because snow tires suck on ice with a high HP car. Last year I spun into a curb with Blizzaks on and I've been driving in snow since I was 15. We had a few days last year where it snowed and rained at night then cleared up and froze solid. When I went to work in the early a.m. the roads were a solid sheet of ice and my snow tires weren't doing so good; went around a corner and started sliding, couldn't stop the slide and ended up spinning the car around 180 and slid the rear then the front into a curb. Low-pro chains would have been nice and would have saved me a broken aluminum A-Arm.
