People are right to call out the OP. Driving on summer tires in the winter is not “a mistake”, it’s willful negligence. Winter tires aren’t some sort of niche, unknown, new technology. Would they have helped in this situation? I don’t know but driving on rock hard summer sport tires certainly didn’t help. Whatever happened to accepting personal responsibility? How are people supposed to learn if every time they do something dumb everyone else pats them on the back and says “Don’t worry, you did nothing wrong.” Thankfully the OP nor anyone else was injured, but come on people. If regularly drops below 50°F where you live, get winter tires or at least a set of all seasons.
