That's what I'm debating. If I go to a winter tire I want it to be good in the dry, wet, and severe snow. I wouldn't drive it aggressively (my last set lasted me five years and was still good when I sold the car), i just want to make sure that in my most common conditions (I.e. dry and wet) the tire will be able to stop as fast as possible in an emergency situation.
Of course the alternative is to continue with my M+S all seasons (Goodyear Assurance Tripletread) and just throw in a set of chains for when things go really bad. Really, this is what majority of people driving the overpasses so.
