Yes, snows have shorter stopping distances in snow than all seasons. I know the difference, having run snows one winter and all seasons the next, and that for the M5 I have 3 sets of wheels to swap among, as I find the need. Snows are a compromise also — soft, jiggly, poor handling, less stable at high speed, and that is for performance snows. Much of the time, however, I find that compromise is not needed because there is not much snow on the road. Maybe I don’t live in as harsh a climate as you — I am in NH.
