All weather vs all season tires

Are the vehicles in question all wheel drive or four wheel drive? I live in Western PA where we get a decent amount of snow in the winter and have evaluated the following scenarios: 1) front wheel drive with winter tires or 2) all wheel drive with all season tires to find that both go pretty well. However if the vehicles in question are front wheel drive I would prefer actual winter tires. Just my personal thoughts.

If your going to use all year long then winter tires still need to be removed and stored. All weather is all weather in any season just research which all weather is best, all season are 3 seasons excluding winter, I Like Michelin tires which has all these types and last a long time well worth the money and saves money in the long run. But if you have a lot of roads to travel un-cleared or up & down hills get all season or all weather with chains to strap on when needed and/or a set of winter tires, there is no saving money if you can not get to where you need to be or have accidents or stuck drivers in the cold are at the mercy of the weather and may loose lives.

I would say they don't sell them there because they wouldn't be good enough , those are my thoughts , they'll be paying for tow trucks to get you out of snow banks instead of snow tires , I have 3 vehicles here in the vampire state and all have another set of rims and snows

The vehicles are not 4 wheel drive, they are front wheel drive. It was March when I picked it up from the dealership and there was still snow on the ground. The all seasons that were on it, brand new, obviously, sucked. The company sent out a communication about a new policy to save money that included switching to all weather (not all season) instead of snows. I was hoping to fund out if there were actually any good quality all weather?? But as I said, I couldn't immediately find anyplace that sells them. I would like to be fairly well armed with info when I take it back to them to say No, I'm not getting the all weather ones. I kinda like keeping it between the ditches.

I used to live in the Shenandoah valley Blue Ridge Mountains back when it snowed a lot more than it does now, Now Some of these roads would scare even us, the average person got scared before the hill. I still have a set of winter rims and tires for a car we had back in the 1970's as we moved in winter time 79 and put under my house, never used again. We never gave a second thought, even with money scarce we put on our winter tires without question and still had chains to use on solid ice & hills. The rubber compound for all season or all weather gets too hard in the cold, winter tires stay soft, flexible and pliable, plus made with design for snow but neither will get traction ice & steep hills or what I refer to as leaning roads without chains or studs.

Check out the Toyo Celius. Best of both worlds. Have them on my wifes 2015 Escape AWD. Have almost 35000 on them now and dont have to swap between all seasons and snow tires.
