Living in an apartment I wont have a ton of room for an extra set of wheels.

Ultimately I know a set of full on snow tires/ wheels is best but If I only get into the mountains once a month or so I will tear up the snowtires on dry roads. I'm mainly looking for an all season tire that I can have on year around.

A good all season tire will be fine if you're going to live in Colorado Springs and take an occasional trip to the mountains.

Contrary to popular belief Colorado does not have very harsh winters in the Denver metro or Colorado Springs areas. While there are times when we get significant snow fall the majority of times there won't be a lot of snow to contend with. Temperatures can get cold but again really cold weather is not the norm. I run all seasons on my 4.4i (18" wheels), make trips to the mountains during the winter and haven't had a problem. Given your situation a set off all seasons should be fine.
