To me it's a matter of how you're biasing your tire setup. Winter tires are for someone that wants no compromises in snowy and/or icy conditions... at the expense of dry condition performance. This should be an accepted reality.
My argument is that this bias towards snowy conditions is foolish for most people because of the limited time spent driving in these conditions. I think people could argue the bias is justified, but to act like it isn't there is just ridiculous.

But you don't seem to understand winter tires are not just for snow.
A winter tire will perform better on dry roads with a temp of 7c or lower. |
You're not grasping the concept of biasing your choice of tires. I never said winter tires are just for snow. I'm saying winter tires are biased towards snowy icy conditions at the expense of dry performance. Everything in life involves give and take. Tire choice included.
