It really hasn't been clearly stated, but there are different kinds of winter tires. If you live in the northeast like I do, get the performance-oriented kind. They wear longer, work better in dry conditions, and don't feel as squishy in general as the real hardcore winter rubber. If you live where roads are snow- or ice-covered for a significant portion of the season, get the squishy ones -- and congratulate yourself with lurid 20-mph drifting action.
