new tires

Would it be safe to assume that longer lasting is a result of harder compounds.... and as a result of harder compounds, their effectiveness in winter driving is reduced at a higher rate than a softer compound? Especially on anything slick....

I don't know if this is relevant to the OPs question directly, but it actually further suggests that tires aren't the issue. Because the same tread patterns and compounds that last longer also get better mileage, I think. Michelin atx^2s or something like that, whatever comes stock on many F250s, are arguably the longest lasting tires money can buy. And they are the same or similar to what the OP bought.
