The only problem with that philosophy is that if you're buying tires for say 5% of the time, 95% of the time you're at greater risk of a wreck than you need to be. Imagine needing to panic stop on the freeway and coming up 1 ft short and into someone's bumper. Seems far more likely to happen than having a little bit more ice traction on the 1 or 2 days it's really scary out will save you from damage.
Plus, all that dry use on those snow tires means you may wear 'em out before you even use them to their advantage in the snow.
