All Weather vs Snow Tires

Multi grade oils are also a gimmick. Everyone uses different single grade oil for summer and winter... right?
 
They are not "snow" tires. They are winter tires. "Snow tire" is a misnomer.

A lot of people are under the impression that if the road is dry and clean, their all-seasons will perform great in winter. No they won't. Winter tires are made out of different compounds that allow them to remain flexible in low temperatures.

All-weather tires were almost a gimmick at first and it is true that they didn't last very long. They are getting better now, however they are still no competition for a good winter tire.
They are designed to pass the winter tire qualification test but to be honest, those tests are not all that stringent. There are a few all-season tires that pass them as well (BFG KO2 for example), which technically would make them an all-weather tire.
