I live on the Texas gulf coast. I've never seen snow in person in my entire life (17). Everytime I here you guys talk about snow/winter tires or "racing season" it just seems wierd to me. I'd be sooooo paranoid about salty roads causing rust.

I recall Bishop talking about Racing Season - he's in Lousiana, IIRC, and he doesn't bother racing in summer because it's too damn hot and you can't get any real power out of an intercooled turbo engine when it's that hot. :) Completely the opposite of here!

About a month ago I tried to drive on snow with my GoodYear Eagle F1 summer tires, just for fun.... while they weren't as bad as I expected, good snow tires are still a completely different world.
It also depends on the tire width; narrow tires are much better than wide tires because they "cut" through snow and mud more easily.
