You are right, we get very little snow. And when we do it is usually for about half a week. This is why the zip tie method is known here. Because people here would be dumb to invest in a set of good snow tires. Zip ties are better than nothin and will get you through the short spurt of snow and ice. So if you are in a city that gets regular snow consider something else.
If I was poor and in a really snowy area I would look into making my own studded tires. But then again what does a Portlander know about snow?
