No, we've had one day. Other then last Tuesday, driving on all seasons has been good enough, at least in the driving I do around town. Like I said, other people who have different driving patterns may have more.
That winter tires stop quicker on a cold dry road may be true, but the number isn't significant. All seasons can stop just fine on dry pavement, no matter how cold the pavement is. In all my years of winter driving, I cannot think of one situation where the pavement was dry and I had to cut it close in not being able to stop on time. I'm even having a hard time even thinking up a scenario where theoretically they could make a significant difference.
