FYI the Nokian company makes several year-round snow tires. Meaning, they are genuine snow tires with the snowflake/mountain symbol. But they wear long enough to use on dry roads year-round. And at least one model (Nokian WR) is a low-rolling resistance tire so you don't get the lousy snow tire MPG. Expensive and probably not best choice for sporty driving, but wouldn't need two sets of wheels, storage space, etc. I'm using Nokian Hakkas on the van and they are perfectly fine in summer and in the couple of snow road trips I've taken.
