Gotta wonder if that isn't just a different kind of compromise. I get it, but I'm just getting to know the "right tool" concept as far as winter tires go. I would be reluctant to go back to a year round mentality.
The increase in rolling resistance is very noticeable. We glide a lot in our 5 spd Fit to conserve gas and we found our glide times were cut considerably. Maybe not as noticeable ona bigger car.
