Treadwear 400 is good, but not exceptional. Traction and temperature A ratings put it in the mid-performance range.
Without seeing a picture of the tread I'd say it's an all-season tire geared more toward summer performance. Any vehicle will benefit from having a set of snow tires in temperatures below 7 degrees C (40-ish F). Below this temperature the rubber compound of all seasons stiffens. Summer tires are rock hard and useless.
Get a picture of the tread and I can give you my opinion of it's winter usefulness.

I'll take a picture as soon as I can. I really don't get too much snow here so I am really interested in an all season tire.
