Add in storage costs and you save more. Most tire shops don't like recommending these tires because of majority of them do tire storage as well. They lose tire storage fee and swap over labour but you break even in the end.

Most tire shops don't recommend those tires because there are better options available.
All weather tires are the 'jack of all trades, master of none' of tires. Sure, they may have the mountain snowflake on them, but their compound isnt as pliable as a true winter tire and they're too soft for warm summer days.
Besides, pay $100 to mount proper winter tires to a set of steelies and then store them in your garage or backyard when it's time to take them off. No need to pay a shop to constantly mount and remount rims on your car when it's a 10 minute job in the driveway...
