If you have 'rainy day cars' I would keep those for the few times we get snow in this area. Since moving to the metro DC area I no longer spend money on winter tires but my BMW will stay in the driveway when there is threat of snow. The BMWs I've had with winter tires did well in the snow but sport tires should not be used. Run flats themselves have little to do with snow. The wife's car has run flats but they're all season tires and work well with up to about 5-6" of snow. When the white stuff hits the ground I'll take my Land Rover. I woudn't drive my BMW (or any other car) with sport tires in even 1/2" of snow.
