Winter tires.

Generic ones do more damage than well fitted ones. Custom made ones work with the lugs and hardly cause any damage.

But you have to remember something. Winter tires are meant to wear out faster than other tires. That's how you get traction. The more traction you need, the faster your tires wear out.
 
As has been hinted by some here in reference to 4X4 drivers zoomin around figuring they're immune from winter,"make " someone put Winter tires and/or chains on and they are going to drive faster and more careless. Those that put on Winter tires of their own accord benefit from the added traction because they realize the potential for disaster. Mandating Winter tires is going to cause idiots to wipe out at faster speeds,not keep them controlled.

That's the same reason why performance tires usually have a treadwear rating of around 100, while your typical all-season has a rating of 400-450, meaning it wears out in about a quarter the time. The performance tire sticks a lot better, which is why you can corner in some sports cars and get so much force sideways that it's actually stronger than gravity, yet the tires won't let go.
