We do not get much winter precipitation in Asheville like areas farther north but the temps are certainly cold enough that driving on summer tires is both dangerous and bad for the rubber. I did shop for some ultra high performance all seasons but the availability choices were poor and ultimately if I do get snow, all seasons are not always great.

Not sure I can forgive those dusty wheels
Looks like you can get he Sottozero, Blizzak LM32, and Michelin Alpin's in the stock 19" size. I've had the LM32 and those were a very good snow tire.
The bead seal issue with swapping tires 2X a year can be an issue long term. But it's not the end of the world. Summer performance tires only last 20,000 miles anyway.
