For many Drivers a good all-season tire is fine... However not all all season tires are created equal.
For me, I general just run a rugged All Terrian / All Season on my truck, the wife's vehicle just gets good all seasons...
I did have trouble once with a set of All Season, which where relatively new, that did get me to invest in winter tires.... I figure between the two sets, I likely got the same mileage that I would have gotten with two sets of good All seasons, So the cost of acquiring the winter tires didn't bother me much..... I also bought the tires from a great dealership, that did the swap over for something ridiculous like 10$ a tire.... and they marked the tires so that we rotated them ever switch over.... it was great.... However I moved, before the tires wore out, and the switch over the last time was a bit more expensive....
My Take is this, do what makes you comfortable, especially if you find a good tire dealer, that helps make switch over reasonable... Or go the other way, and get a second set of Rims..... and do the switch over yourself......
