Winter 'beaters' have to be insured, maintained and stored which all add to the cost (in the city, parking ain't cheap). Then you can start the discussion about what's safer....a beater on bald 15yo tires or a Z on snow tires. Or you can buy snow tires for the beater, but you probably should have bought them for the Z in that case.
