It has been my experience that quality winter tires will perform much more than "marginally better" than all season tires. Quebec is one jurisdiction that mandates the use of winter tires on all licensed vehicles. Having said that I agree such tires will be expensive.
Not to doubt you, Copper, but does Quackback really mandate pure winter tires? Or winter-rated tires, which can be good all-season radials.
I mean, I know they get lots of snow (and I think it's fairly hilly, too, no?)
But that's first I heard of a government forcing drivers to have to buy winter tires they have to change over every season.
As an aside, the tires are one of the things I cannot even pretend to boast about on the CX-9. It has Bridgestone Duelers, which seem fine on dry land, but are not great for wet, snow and especially icy conditions. The Trav stock Goodyears seem to be very good, by comparison.
Some people have traded in brand new Duelers for better tires like Yokohama Parada.
