If we all had the luxury of driving through the canyons of Malibu everyday, etc. I'm sure that would be a different story.
A/S are just not good at anything. Summer tires WAY outperform A/S in the wet. Their braking capabilities are also much higher which alone, IMO, is enough of a reason to justify, especially since you already have winters.
