Snow Tires on a DD?

Unfortunately my DD is my tahoe car 3-4x/month, and it's a PITA to swap rims each trip.

My hankook i*pike's dont even have a treadwear rating UTQ to give me an idea of how they will wear.

Anyone here on the same boat, and just daily on the snow tires for the winter season because of pure laziness?

I got a set of Blizzaks that I use on my DD only for the winter season. I usually only have them on from end of Dec. to mid Feb.

+1 for the blizzak LMs, NOT WS. LMs keep that stiffness in the rubber for dry roads. i personally dont have the same issue as u, but ive had both LM and WS, and for sure if you are both in snow and dry a lot, i can vouch for LM. even WS in snow, piece of cake
