It all depends on your usage. If you don't PLAN on driving it in the snow, and just want to be prepared if you get caught, IMO dedicated snows would be a waste, and they handle like crap on dry roads.

Do all season tires get better mileage (not mpg, but wear) than... "summer" tires on average?

I am not a tire expert but I would think that winter tires are made of softer rubber so would wear quicker(especially if driven on dry pavement).

The above poster says that all season radials should be adequate for some snow.
My response is basically how lucky do you feel?
