All NEW all seasons tires do well in the snow for the first season, then the performance drops off rather quickly.

If you don't have the space / time to swap tires consider getting your tires from Canadian Tire.. they offer an option to store the tires for you. My condo dwelling friends relies on them. It is pretty reasonable.

I had Xdrive, so I guess that's cheating a bit. Regardless, the grip seemed to be good enough. I never had issues with any Hills or anything. Just had to brake early.
The thing is you are talking about 2 different aspects.. grip and drive has more to do with the drive train.. brake has to do more with the tires. All winter tires unless they are new and the latest compounds will need to brake early.
