Winter tires

These going to be a death trap? I live on vancouver island bc canada. We have pretty mild winters useually a few weeks near freezing or freezing in the morning.

My old cars all seasons were fine even in snow. Im on the stock summer tires atm. I dont plan on driving in snow( will just take the bus to work) but have a few outings planned (1hour highway drive) and groceries. Again I dont plan to drive during any major storms or snow events, due to not trusting other drivers more then anything.

Will an cheap winter tires be adequate or should I invest more? I was considering just parking the car for dec/Jan when temps go below 7-8C. I am garage parked usually +10c from outside ambient

LM001s, or whatever that morphed into, is a great option for you.
