As for why a dedicated winter tire is necessary, it comes down to numbers... one of them being $ and the rest being other statistics. Everyone has a different point at which the improved performance of one tire makes it worth having...
... for example, the province of Quebec, Canada, has required that all vehicles have dedicated winter tires (in winter), because the statistics are such that, just like seat-belts, they apparently save lives. But still, some people refuse to wear seat belts, and I get the impression that there are people who feel similarly about winter tires. My opinion is that I will use any device I can to give me the most advantage when winter driving, including winter tires, etc.

I wondered if someone would catch my joke.
Here in Denver, we have no need for a dedicated winter tire on a 4 wheel drive truck, at least in my opinion. I mean, I do run blizzaks on my STi, but that's a different machine. I dunno. Just my 2 cents.
