Winter tires are made of a different rubber. So no, perhaps everyone doesn't need the ones with the huge treads on them that can drive through 2 ft of snow, but if everyone had a tire with a rubber compound designed for temperatures less than 7 C, we'd be stopping on ice better, and slipping less, and just in general better.
So yes and no to what you say there. It all depends on what kind of driving each individual wants to be doing. But for heaven's sake, if you have all seasons get out of my way.

that's why i only recommend the Nokian all-weather. you can use them all year round if you want to, but they don't lose grip when it gets below freezing. sure they cost a bit more, but i don't understand the mentality of trying to save a few bucks when tires are the most important safety aspect on your car. the extra money spent is paid back ten fold when you're able to avoid an accident in the winter and save the repair bills, or even save your life
