Agree. This ranking may be a good start, but of course there are more pieces to the puzzle that are not being counted.
My state of PA is exactly in the middle.

That is a good start but even then, I bet there is a lot of taxing left out of that ranking due to local taxation and fees. The multitude of taxing that goes on is mind boggling and the average person is only aware of the ones that they routinely see like gas taxes, sales, taxes, real estate taxes, etc. Registering a pet is also a tax. Most fees are really taxation and some governmental bodies have taken it to an art form.

I think that ours came with Continental of some sort. In addition to the poor snow/ice traction, they were kind of noisy, too. Wasn't sad when they reached the end of their tread life.
We got some variety of Yokohama GTs in the spring. Pretty good all around. Haven't bothered to put the winter tires on this year.

I'm surprised you have any water bottle cages on your bike.

New tool day!
Had to go get some crowsfeet to get the power steering lines off the rack and pinion, and I splurged on a super long extension to get the pinch bolt off.

I just made some room for another bike, by selling this one.
I'm curious what you folks think a fair price would have been.
Full 6800 components, and a 2nd wheelset(Novatec hubs and Kinlin XC-279 hoops)

It comes with a cost. For example, our roads have a growing number of imperfections. Nothing like the war-zone roads that LAJ rides on, of course, but still annoying.
I used to be a serious cyclist.
