I'm interested in dedicated winter snow tires with the snowflake rating. During the summer I would switch out the wheels/tires to a summer tire.

Are you sure you want "dedicated" winter tires?
There are quite a few All-Terrain tires with the triple peak snowflake rating. They are not "dedicated" winter tires but but are good enough for many and certainly should last longer on dry pavement than dedicated winters. People run these year-round. Here's a few:
BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2
Kumho Road Venture AT51
Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac
Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor
Nitto EXO Grappler AWT
Nitto HD Grappler
Hankook Dynapro AT-m
Toyo OpenCountry C/T
And there are even "All weather" tires with the triple peak snowflake rating that should last even longer and have a tread wear warranty. Here's a few:
Yokohama Geolander A/T GO15
Cooper Discoverer X/T4 (or A/TW)
Sumitomo Encounter AT
Nokian Rotiva AT Plus
General Grabber APT
Good luck.
