Doesn't take a genius to figure out Summer tires are not going to perform in Winter situations.
The stock all season tires will probably be borderline ok if the tires are still relatively new with EXTREME cautious driving. Anything after the first winter, it's going to be garbage considering you're going to drive through it all summer to the next winter. Dedicated winter tires are ten times better then all seasons in every aspect.
Since I'm guessing most of you folks will keep the car for more then a year, wouldn't it make more sense if you just get winter tires from the start? You're going to have to get it for the second year anyways, why risk on the first year?
I have personally tried all season tires and compared it to nearly worn out winter tires. The winter tires still perform better as the compound doesn't turn rock hard in sub zero temperatures.
