I live in a rural area of northern England, and my Stinger was like Bambi on ice during my first winter! Last winter , I got a set of winter tyres fitted at my dealer..You guessed it, no snow !!
Anyway, I was due to swap back to my normal ones, but covid and lockdown came along, so I couldn't. By the time things started to get back to 'normal', I'd been running the winters during spring and summer, and must admit, I didn't notice any difference at all. No difference in handling/sound/tyre wear or performance. I was well impressed, and as a result, I'm going to keep them on for good.
Anyone else do the same?
 
I run performance all seasons year round. Winter tires on warm/hot pavement wear out much quicker than all season or summer tires because they're so soft, and there should be a difference in handling, unless you were running low quality tires before them. I assume you didn't drive much this year, and when you did drive it, you didn't drive aggressively.
 
If you push the car in curves you'll notice a difference then. :D And as said, when the weather gets warm snow/winter tires wear out faster.
 
I'm sure you'll be fine for winter this year but I suggest getting ultra or high performance all season tires to run year long after you burn these winters out
