is it true that snow/winter tires wear out slower because of the colder temperatures?

They take longer to wear out in the cold/wet, but I think that would apply to all tires. It's just that they're soft enough to actually have some grip in the cold
Well, orderd my tires. Bit the bullet and got a set of 4. I decided on the Hankook Dynapro RT03 MT's. All the reviews were pretty good, seems to indicated a good hwy car that can still handle itself on the trails and on the snow. And since my truck isn't too crazy yet I don't need anything special to scale up the side of a cliff. Paid $215 a tire from Discount Tire Direct and got free shipping to Point Roberts. Best price I was able to find anywhere.

So which is the right answer?

My guess is that winter tires will wear faster than an all season. But, winter tires seem to last long because you're usually not really pushing the tire when it's wet and/or snowy.
In the dry, winter tires will probably wear as fast as an aggressive summer tire, and faster than a typical all season. But this is entirely dependent on temperature as well. Drive winter tires at 30 C and I bet they'll wear even faster (and possibly even get chunking of the tread) than the summer tires which are just getting into their good grip range.
In the wet and snow, it's probably a lot closer though - that lack of grip would probably make tire wear pretty even (but probably still more on the winter tire)
Dry, cold, rain, slush it doesn't matter. The rubber compound and sipes will wear the tire out faster. Which is why a part of me cringes when the weather's nice and I have my snow tires on.

Nice. Just saw a truck with these tires on them the other day. Really nice lookin' sidewall (I know, I know, it's not all about looks... but it doesn't hurt that they look badass )

tried to go to Kaltire this morning but wait time was going to be 5 hrs. So headed home instead. Will give it another try myself. Wish me good luck!
I responded to your prior post on the last page and described a method that would work well, especially considering you only have a tiny scissor jack, maybe you missed it.
Ps. The tiny scissor jack makes me nervous too, they seem flimsy, so I picked up a beefier scissor jack from CT on sale for $10. Nice piece of mind if you ever get a flat and don't want to call BCAA or something similar.

^should be on all four corners.
if you only have it on the front then your back end will lose traction and will cause you to spin out. if you only have it on the back then you can't turn or accelerate or BRAKE.
lastly, your insurance might not cover you in an accident.
now go spend another couple hundred which is what you'll pay in deductible anyways, and complete your set of winter tires!!
