It is fact, not opinion, that performance winter tires outperform normal snows in all conditions except snow and ice. This includes cold and dry. The glass transition temperature is the dry issue with summer tires, it is not remotely an issue with "performance winters". If you spend all your time driving on snow and ice then sure, get the regular snows.
