Should I fit all-season tyres?

I drive a 2021 Volvo XC60 II, auto, fwd. The tyres are Continental EcoContact 6. Would fitting all-season tyres make a noticeable difference ?

They would certainly improve grip and stability in cold and wet conditions. All-season tyres used to mean compromises on dry weather handling, but the latest tyre technology is so good that a good set of all-seasons (such as Goodyear Vector 4Season, Michelin CrossClimate or Continental AllSeasonContact) will perform really well in every area.
