Neil is dead on. It's better to run a true snow/winter tire than any other tire in those conditions. All-Season tires just don't cut it in temps below 40F even when it's dry out.
FWIW the Fuel Max tires are not that great. You're Probably better off with the Michelin Defender. The fuel economy should be close and the Defender is rated to last 25,000 miles longer and is cheaper! The Fuel Max's tend to wear out the center bar if overinflated as well. From a purely economical standpoint get the Defender then buy a set of Michelin X-Ice Xi2 winter tires. The Michelin $70 rebates make them affordable. The rolling resistance on those and the Nokian Hakkapellitta tires is excellent!
