I'm not totally sure I know the difference between pantyhose and tights....or stockings for that matter.
From what I've looked up online, yes, I do wear pantyhose, and tights, frequently.
I only wear them in winter because the weather here is very warm in summer and even spring so it doesn't make sense to then.
I wear them when I want to wear skirts or a nice dress (to work or a special event), or if it's particularly cold I wear them under my trousers.
I do feel that for more formal situations where a dress is required, no pantyhose in winter feels odd to me...I feel inappropriately dressed, like I'm cheating or showing too much skin.
I find pantyhose bearable since they do their job, but I don't like how they feel around the crotch area, it can be a bit stifling.
I have no tricks, I always recommend buying brands that have a good price-quality ratio. They run so easily, it's not worth going crazy unless it's for a special event. As it is, I wear pantyhose maybe 3 times before they run, and that's when I'm lucky.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
