The winter tires are for more than snow. When the temp drops below 45 the normal summer compound tires strart to get hard - almost like hockey pucks. The colder it gets the more grip you lose.

Lot's of days at, or below freezing here. Which was the main reason I put them on the wife's car. They're also great for snow too

I might have considered this if I had seen it earlier. I sold my Rossos and put Kumho all seasons on.
I drive less than 7500 miles per year, so I can't justify two sets of tires. An all season is fine for the Philly area.
