Once you lose traction, winter tires aren't worth any more than regular all-season tires. Learning how to control yourself into and out of a slide is much more important than winter tires. Knowing how to properly use downshifting, over and under steering, etc. has kept my little front wheel drive car with cheap all-season radials on the road and out of trouble every winter. I mess around in parking lots as soon as the snow falls to freshen up the skillz.
