This is the way to get tires changed!

And we use summer/winter. My wife drives an EV and the low role resistance tires are crap on snow and ice. And I drive a sports car and I want the extra traction in nice weather.

I see. I've always heard that Allweathers kinda suck especially in the Winter

Depends on the tire and the winter.

Places where winters are icy and long (NorthEast Coast/Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, etc), you want proper winter tires if you do any regular driving.

If you live somewhere winter has snow, but isn't icy (plains, the non-mountain areas of WY, CO) you can get by on Winter-rated All-season tires, especially if you're in a city where speeds are lower and roads are kept well-cleared.

It all depends on the usual conditions and where/when you drive. I work from home when it snows because it would waste a lot of time to drive in the snow. We only get a little at a time, and it clears quickly, so it's not worth having full winter-only tires, winter-rated all-season are fine.
