I don't actually think it's an identity thing for most people - I think it's a failure of properly determining value. "Ah, I need a new car with AWD because once a year I drive up to the mountains to go snowboarding!" And never stop to realize that the cost of an AWD car during its lifetime is more than you would pay on snow tires or even renting a car whenever you need it.

In this age of big data, are there any stats on snow tire purchases that show what percentage of people purchase them for 2WD vehicles vs. 4WD/AWD vehicles? Also, I'd guess that most people consider AWD vehicles a form of insurance against unpredictable traction conditions.
