My almost new Uniroyal MS Plus 77 winter tires (175/65R15 on steel rims) are slightly less economical than my old set of Continental WinterContact TS 810 S (same size/rim).
They do have considerably more grip in the rain though also corner better in the dry and make a more pleasant sound at speed, even if they aren't really quieter.

The Contis beat my summer tires on economy in similar conditions. The Uniroyals not so much.

The Contis lasted for about 80,000 km and still have enough thread (well above minimum) to serve as rears / emergency spares. Had I known how soft this winter would be then I'd not have replaced them yet.
But I knew from last winter that their grip in snow was getting worse, and I want my tires to work well in the worst conditions they are likely to meet, not just the best.
