If you can raise your FE enough, you can save thousands of dollars, so a little extra on tires is a great investment. Also, good winter tires like Nokian Hakka R or Michelin X-Ice2 will roll with the best of any tires, and they provide amazing grip in the winter. So, yes a second set of tires costs more money, but you have much better traction than any all-season and better fuel economy all year, too.
