Dedicated snow tires are not required, but they do help. That being said, we have 3-peak *all-season* tires on our vehicles (Goodyear WeatherReady) and find they do a decent job and do better than regular all-season tires.
When I changed my Trofeo Rs to Goodyear Supercar 3R’s - that also saved about $1300 and they last 4K miles longer.
For context I’ve got them on a 2012 ford focus FWD, and they’ve absolutely blown my mind with how good they are in the snow. Great tires Goodyear
I have been running Duratracs for quite a while,work very well in winter.
I am at 51K on my stock Goodyears and have at least 10K left. I rotate every oil change (5-6K), front to back.

Goodyear duratrack cant say i love them but definitely better puncture resistance
I got mine (22 GT-Line AWD) with Goodyear Eagle Sport tires, and they weren't the best but certainly better than my friend (same model) who had pirelli put on them from the start.
The one I personally actively avoid is Goodyear. I've only ever had one decent set of them and the rest have dry rotted faster than any other set I've bought. Their performance wasn't awful but even burning through a set of tires every 24-30mos, I shouldn't be starting to worry at 18mos when the tires are sporting lots of visible dry rot.
I had the Goodyears as OEM and they kind of sucked.
