A bit of a generalization about Canada. You live in Chicago which gets way more snow and cold temps than some parts of Canada such as the West Coast (Vancouver, Victoria) and the southern interior of BC, such as Kelowna, where I live. I can easily get thru on performance winters, and do. Most of the big snowfalls in Canada are in areas around the Great Lakes, just like Chicago.

In fact, in Vancouver, I formerly got thru many winters with no winter tires at all. Some winters, Vancouver gets no snow, and often only two or three snow "events".
sorry, just being a typical American and thinking of Canada as this big wintry land that is 0 degrees and full of snow and ice at all times, sort of like the north pole where Santa lives
