^^^This. I don't see a dramatic loss in performance (at normal driving speeds) with a good high performance snow tire during dry winter conditions.

Most of the reason that it is hard to make a good all season tire is it is very difficult to make a compound formulation that maintains appropriate flexibility across a broad range of temperature conditions. Good summer tires turn to concrete in the winter with basically no traction, and winter tires are super soft when it gets warm and wear like crazy.

Better to use the right tool for the right job IMO.
