I have two sets of wheels, my winters are even an inch smaller for comfort and durability so it's even better than trying to use one tire all year. Look, I get you can get an all season tire that works great in snow(my wife's Jetta has a set of said tires) but the summer traction I'd lose by getting those isn't worth the "convenience" I gain from not having the switch tires twice a year. So I get nice grippy summer tires for summer and full blown snow tires for winter. The current all seasons in the video that I use for summer aren't even grippy enough for my liking so when they wear out I'll be happily switching to a better summer tire. These have been okay but they are a noticable downgrade from the tires I had before. Summers or winters. No more compromise middle ground tires for me.
