So basically in the dry, regardless of temperature, the answer is NO but in the snow it's significantly better. Winter tires are only good in snow and ice.
Unless you live up in the great white north, wouldn't AWD with all season tires be more suitable for all around performance
since the road surface isn't always going to be snowy or icy?

All-seasons + any amount of driven wheels is better on cold pavement. Here it only snows 1-2 times per year, and when it does snow the roads are clear within 24 hrs. Highways are cleared within 3 hours. so it is absolutely not worth it to buy snow tires.
