Another option are snow socks. These do have mega grip, but taking them off when you get to a road that's been cleared is a pain in the ass. Useful to keep in the boot to get you out of trouble though.

These for the uk are a better idea, for me I live in by main roads so roads are mainly kept upto scratch, in my eyes when the roads get a little icy or snowy u tend not to use the car a lot as of the conditions anyway, perhaps if ur job entails u to be on the road in most condition the yeah maybe but other then thàt drive slower an be careful
