#michelin_destiny Canadian Tire advertises these as having "advanced rubber compound [that] remains pliable in all temperatures to provide excellent wet and snow grip. Full-depth tread grooves and sipes deliver superb wet grip for the life of the tire."
The "competitors" ProductWiki lists do not seem to claim an all-temperature rubber compound (as a snow tire has).
What other tires have an all-season tread design but the rubber compound of a snow tire? This is what you seem to need if you control when you go out, i.e. aren't commuting or otherwise forced to go out in all conditions. If you can put off trips until conditions are warmer (i.e. wet) or sunny and dry (but still cold), then it seems to me that this is exactly the tire needed.
The Firestone and Dunlop competitors don't make the claim to be winter-temperature pliable.
