I've never had snow tires on my car.
I have some kind of summer tires or mild season tires on mine, so I was able to swing out the back end easily around a parking lot.

Turns out when it snowed, at some point it melted so all the snow in town had a layer of ice underneath it. I found this out when I hit a curb while driving my friends to a restaurant because I started sliding and kept sliding even while countersteering correctly.
