umm... you have to factor in the way you drive in winter when thinking of going all seasons, or with winter or both.
I never buy winter tires mainly because I can handle the car in any situation where a skid might occure. I went with all seasons with Cooper tires from a local tire dicounter 2 years ago on the last focus ( cheaper then Wal-mart ) and they gripped extremely well for all season tires, not to mention you could feel the meatyness of the tires into the next winter season.
I know Winter tires tend to be the best for this season, but you should really factor into where you live, your driving style, and how often are you in areas that get really bad snow storms / drifts in the winter ?
