Yes, they are.

I buy Nokian WR all-season tires, and they do beautifully in the snow.
They're the only all-season tire with the snowflake designator, which
makes them as good as dedicated snow tires in the winter. They're the
only tire to have this.

I will always have Nokian WR as long as I'm in a climate where it
doesn't snow huge amounts. If I moved further north, I would have
dedicated winter/snow tires and summer tires.
