Snow tires are super soft and wear quickly in warm weather and bare roads. We run winters only in the winter until about 1/4" tread then leave them on that following summer. 15,000 miles will take them from there to slicks that summer and the new winters get installed right before snow.
Because we have snowfalls mid Oct to later in March, we tend to use two sets of winters to every set of summers. People who drive less will run winters all year but it's not so common.
Snow tires have much greater tread depth, closer to an at truck tire. The squirm around and make a car handle terrible until they are almost worn out but they are great in snow.
We currently have two similar all wheel drive cars, same brand and engine size, one has all seasons on it the other has studded winters. On a dry road the winters are all over the place, side winds knock you a lane over in a heartbeat. But I'll tell ya in the 1/2" of ice pellets on the road last night the all seasons can't keep the car in the lane at 30 mph while the winters were fine at 60 mph.
