Which makes me think how Germans would react to someone asking if anyone kept summer tires on in the winter. It would be like asking if anyone regretted walking out of their house naked. And setting themselves on fire. Then jumping off a cliff.
Some places it's literally illegal to run summer tires in winter, ran into this in Stockholm too.
It is in Germany. They won't pull you over for it. But if you get into an accident with summer tires on you get in all sorts of trouble.
