We see snow only once or twice a year.


All seasons do everything, but just mediocre. If you have the space to store them, get a dedicated winter wheel/tire package because of your temp range, and then run a more dedicated performance tire in the summer. For just a little extra work of swapping wheels/tires around twice a year, you'll have better performance in all conditions.
