Generally winter tires are softer and have more RR, but... Certain winter tires may be better (RR-wise) than certain summer/all-year tires. Basjoos recently switched to Nokian Hakapelitta winter tires and it seems they aren't that bad:

Much better on snow and ice than the Bridgestones and they handle fine enough on dry pavement that I wouldn't mind running them year around if I had to. Their only drawback is they take a bigger FE hit on wet roads than the Bridgestones.
